Question

Your friend Forrest wants to create a new "green" shrimp. He plans on growing normal shrimp in green light because, he says, the green light will cause mutations that make the shrimp green. You must tell him this is not a good idea because

A. mutations are random, and no agent (even green light) can cause a specific mutation like turning shrimp green. B. if the green light is capable of causing such mutations, it will also turn him green. C. it cannot work; everyone knows that water absorbs green light (that's why lakes and ponds are green). D. the color of a shrimp has nothing to do with its genes. E. the green shrimp would be mutagenic and anyone eating them would be in danger of turning green
