All the above


Genetic variation is the difference in DNA sequences between individuals within a population

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can cause a large effect. In many cases, evolutionary changes are based on the accumulation of many mutations.

Gene flow is any movement of genes from one population to another.
