What four factors can cause evolution to occur?

Mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow can all contribute to evolution. Mutation introduces new genetic variations, natural selection favors specific traits for survival and reproduction, genetic drift causes random changes in allele frequencies, and gene flow introduces new genetic diversity through the movement of individuals between populations.
