Question

______ mutations are more like to become common in a population through natural selection

Answer 1

Answer:

The genetic variation that occurs in a population because of mutation is random — but selection acts on that variation in a very non-random way: genetic variants that aid survival and reproduction are much more likely to become common than variants that don't. Natural selection is NOT random!

Answer 2

Random mutations are likely to become common among the members of the population helping in natural selection.

Natural selection:

• Natural selection involves the selection of those individuals having suitable traits over others that help them to survive in their environment.
• Mutation involves the alternation in the genomic sequence of an organism. It can change the morphology and physiology of the organism.
• Random mutation may occur which will facilitate the requirements of the living organisms in its adverse environment.
• These random mutations can help in development of traits that will be suitable in overcoming the issues associated with the adverse environment in which the organism is living.
