Solution
The correct option is B Mutation
The word mutation is derived from Latin word mutatus means a change + ion means result of a process. Mutation is a heritable change in the kind structure, sequence or number of the component part of a DNA molecule.
Mutation is the original source of genetic variation. It may be harmful or beneficial for an individual. Due to harmful mutation, the forthcoming generation is less adaptive than their parental generation.
As a result of natural selection, the frequency of genes of non-adaptive value is greatly reduced leading to diminished diversity and diminished adaptivity to further changes.
Natural selection operates through differential reproduction. Genetic drift is a random change in the allele number and frequency in a gene pool.
