A species of ape when their jungle starts receding could develop bipedal-ness (2 legged walking), and larger brains to survive in the plains. that species could also be called human

How do genomes of species change?
By mutations in DNA.
What genetic processes allow a species to change over time?
Mutations and the genetic shuffling that occurs with sexual reproduction
How might alterations in DNA structure be harmful to a species?
DNA alterations could come in the form of Mutations which can be good or bad depending on many things. Some people would see anything that strays from the norm to be harmful in their species. One might be looked at as not good enough for their kind. I think mutation is also the most important form of genetic change. I think this because without some mutations (In our species) we would all be the same.
How does the mutations affect a species?
mutation is the ability to change in a species mutation help s the species to get better equipped with the environment .It is nothing but evolution for example mutation in the animals such monkeys paved the way for the humans to grow
Can mutations cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations

Explain how a species can change over time?
Through mutations in DNA. If a mutation is beneficial and helps the organism survive it is passed on to the next generation which leads to the evolution of a species causing it to change.
What are the evolutionary values of mutations?
Mutations have allowed species to adapt the their environment.
How could multicellularity evolve?
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.
What genetic processes allow a species to change over time?
Mutations and the genetic shuffling that occurs with sexual reproduction
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
Why do mutations that occur in the skin or nervous system tend to have little effect on the evolution of a species?
Most mutations that occur have a neutral effect, or none at all, so they would not affect evolution. Organisms with mutations that cause detrimental impact typically will not survive; therefore, they will not reproduce, and the mutation will not be passed on, so the species will not be affected overall. Beneficial mutations are typically the only mutations that will affect an organism's posterity and the evolution of its species, but good mutations are very rare. This is why most mutations have little effect on the evolution of a species.

Can mutations increase the variations in a species' traits?
Yes
How can genetic mutations support macro-evolution?
Mutations in an individuals germ line can be passed into progeny and if these mutations are beneficial then the allele frequency in the individuals population can change which is evolution. Over time and with many beneficial mutations against a favorable environment a population, or populations, most often geographically isolated, can change alleles so much that the two split populations can no longer interbreed and you have a new species; macro-evolution.
