A photograph in a national science magazine, illustrating innate mechanisms of animals, shows a male deer with larger than average antlers fighting with another male deer. The article discusses that a genetic mutation causes the deer to grow larger than average antlers, and that the mutation may be passed on to future generations when the deer reproduces. The author asserts that this adaptation is an example of how behavioral events are regulated by specific mechanisms. Based on accepted scientific knowledge, what is an appropriate inference from the article?
O It is not poss will be selectible to know if the mutation is beneficial, as other factors may select against the trait.
O Large antlersed against because they are unnatural in the attraction of females and abnormal to the reproductive mechanism.
O The genetic mutations will not affect the offspring of the deer unless the female carries the recessive gene.
O The large antlers are a trait that is purely beneficial because the genes will be passed on to future offspring.
