Mutations are changes in DNA sequences. They introduce new genetic material into a population, creating genetic variation. Natural selection acts on this variation, not the other way around. Mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral. They are a driving - force for evolution, not a preventer.

They create genetic variation
