Question 98

When do mutations occur in a population?

  1. Only when an organism needs a new characteristic
  2. At random, whether or not the change would be usefulBonne réponse
  3. Only in organisms that are already well suited to their surroundings
  4. Whenever an organism repeatedly uses one part of its body

Explication

Copying errors and damage to DNA arise by chance, so a change appears without any regard to whether the organism could make use of it. If need produced mutations, a population under pressure would reliably develop the feature it lacks, and instead most such populations simply decline.
