Consider the interpreter from Project 5, which given the query  query([some(X,10), 7, =, 3, +, X]).will find one value for X. Which?

Describe how mutations initially arise in an organism’s genotype, affecting specific alleles, and how these changes can influence the phenotype. Discuss how natural selection acts on these phenotypic variations, ultimately driving evolution in a population. Provide examples to illustrate your explanation.

Recall that we defined list_fold bylet rec list_fold f e l =   match l with    | [] -> e    | (x :: l’) -> f x (list_fold f e l’)We shall now look at calls of the form    list_fold  (fun x r -> B)    1  [5;6] Match each instantiation of B with the value of that call.
