Mutation

Explanation:

A mutation can be described as any change which occurs in the DNA of an organism. These mutations can be beneficial or harmful for a species of organisms. Mutations are one of the reasons that variations arise among the organisms of a species. If a certain kind of mutation is favored by natural selection, then it can increase in the allele frequency and might completely eradicate the previous wildlife characteristics of a species.
