Q: What role do mutations play in plant evolution?
Solution:
Mutations provide the raw material for genetic variation, which is essential for the process of evolution.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what mutations are. Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism.
Step 2: Recognize that mutations can happen naturally or due to environmental factors.
Step 3: Learn that mutations can create new traits in plants, such as different colors, sizes, or resistance to diseases.
Step 4: Realize that these new traits can help plants survive better in their environment.
Step 5: Understand that when plants with beneficial mutations survive and reproduce, they pass these traits to their offspring.
Step 6: Recognize that over time, these changes can lead to the evolution of new plant species.
