The theory of evolution requires that organisms obtain increases in genetic information in order to increase in complexity over time. from what is observed about mutations, is this a possible mechanism of evolution?

yes
no

As explained in the Mutation theory by Hugo de Vries, mutation is a probable cause of evolution.

Yes.

Explanation:

Hugo de Vries is also known as the father of Mutation who gave the Mutation theory regarding the evolution in the year of 1901. This theory stated that evolution is a discontinuous process and not smooth as explained by Darwin. This theory said that a mutation is the raw material for evolution and it is sudden in onset, but carried to progenies by means of reproduction. The lethal mutations are eliminated but the others are carried forward. Sometimes a single mutation can also evolve to a new species.

Although this theory explained the evolution of Ancon sheep and few others, but there were many points against this theory. Mutations are generally negative or recessive and are not as frequent as Hugo thought. This theory also couldn't explain the dependent relationships like symbiosis, parasitism etc. So mutation is one but not the only one process of evolution.

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

ex. when its cold outside i wear a jacket

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom
