Describe the role of  mutation in natural selection

• Mutation changes the nature of genes in an organism and causes inheritable variations. The altered genetic material passes over to the offspring which then inherit the resulting variations.
• A selection pressure acts on these variations; organisms with more favorable variations survive and reproduce while the less suitably adapted organisms die and may be weeded out. This may lead to emergence of new strains of organisms with favorable variations
