What provides the source of variation in evolution?

Mutation, such as insertion, deletion and rarely frameshift mutation. Sexual recombination, is sexually reproducing species. This includes, in meiosis, the independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over. Then there is random fertilization to provide a last source of variation.


Does crossing over help evolution create brand new beneficial genetic information useful for molecules to man evolution?

Not so much. Crossing over keeps genetic diversity within a population, but one needs a mutation to arise for real adaptive change to take place.


Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?

Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
