Genetic Variation

Genetic Variation
Understand the role of genetic variation in evolution, including how mutations, gene flow, and sexual reproduction contribute to the diversity of life.

What Is Mutation?

DNA mutations are changes in the genetic code that generate variations among individuals. These mutations are crucial for evolution, influencing traits and adaptations. While most mutations are neutral or harmful, some can enhance an organism's fitness, driving evolutionary progress.
