Answer 2

No. Mutations happen spontaneously in living cells. The majority of them are harmful to the organism in which they occur, and are therefore seldom passed on to offspring. Occasionally a mutation results in an advantage, and is therefore passed on within the species.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Events such as genetic mutations, infection by parasites or symbionts and chance environmental encounters can modify the way that an organism's internal state changes in response to a given environment. ... As an example of this, consider a mutation that causes an organism to be able to metabolise a new type of resource.
