Genetic mutations are responsible for _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can give an organism a new trait. If the trait is beneficial in a particular environment, individuals with the mutation are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on the mutation to their offspring. Over time, this can result in a change in the species that helps them adapt to that environment. Genetic mutations are not responsible for cultural differences or long-term improvement in species that are not based on adaptation to an environment.
