Jase Gutierrez · Answer 2

Mutations influence evolution by changing the DNA that produces a variation within the gene.

Explanation:

Mutation is the alteration or change in genetics of an organism. An alteration of singe base unit in DNA might also cause mutation. It is very important fact that only herediatary mutation is responsible for the evolution, no all mutation influences the evolution. The change in eggs or sperm cell is sequentially transferred to the further generation, ultimately resulting in the evolution.
