Multi-cellularity evolved from mutations. This is how everything evolved throughout history. Random mutations that prove to be advantageous, and allow a species to continue to reproduce.
Why is nuclear radiation dangerous to human being'S?
Nuclear radiation can cause genetic mutations in our DNA, which can cause cancers. If the genetic mutations occur in the germ cells, then our gametes (sperm and egg cells) could have genetic mutations that could be passed on to our offspring. Also, if radiation levels are high enough, people can get radiation sickness, which can be fatal.
How does a mutation in a sex cell differ from a mutation in a non-sex cell?

What mutations would most likely affect a person's offspring?
Any mutation could do so.
Is a pesticide resistant bug caused by a mutation or an adaptation?

De Vries believed the process of evolution was driven by what?
Mutations. He was the father of saltation. The big jump idea that organisms could make large morphological changes by beneficial mutations all at once.
