Can mutations lead to evolution by natural selection?

In: Charles Darwin, Evolution [Edit categories]

Answer:

In this sense. Mutations, which need to be in the germ line too to be heritable, serve up variations in organisms that are subject to natural selection and selected organisms leave more decadents that have a higher genetic representation in the populations gene pool; evolution has occurred.
