MCQ on Mutation Theory of Evolution with Answers (PDF)







Role of Mutation in Evolution: Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that serve as the primary source of genetic variation within populations. This variation provides the raw material for natural selection, driving the adaptation and evolution of species over time. Without mutations, evolutionary change would be limited, as there would be no new traits for selection to act upon. This is an MCQ on Mutation Theory of Evolution with Answers.
