Solution
The correct option is C Mutation
- Natural selection states that an organism with heritable traits that are in favor of survival and reproduction will have more offsprings than others, leading to an increased frequency of traits.
- Genetic drift is a term used when an allele frequency is varied over a generation in a particular population. Adaptation is where a group of an organism develop a particular trait in order to survive in a changed environment.
- A mutation can be any change that occurs in a DNA sequence. Many of such errors are corrected by themselves but some persist. It can be due to a copying mistake or can result from exposure to radiation or cigarette smoking.
- Both good and bad traits can be developed from mutations. Beneficial mutations mostly arise in natural selection. Harmful effects of mutation can include cancer
