What do gene mutations provide for a population?
A mutation is a change in the genetic code of one allele of your genetic code. ( rarely does mutation affect both alleles ) Most mutations are neutral, some are deleterious, but sometimes a mutation in the germ line can convey some slight advantage to progeny. An example of this is lactose tolerance in some peoples of the world.
Is mutation a selective pressure?
Mutation is not a selective pressure, however, an organism with (certain) genes that are more likely to mutate are going to provide a higher variation within the gene pool which is advantageous. Organisms such as viruses have a high rate of mutation in certain genes (such as those which code for membrane surface proteins) which is advantageous but mutation can be disadvantageous and it is much more likely to be a problem than an advatage. Only beneficial mutations are selected for and so persist within the gene pool, mutation itself is more often disadvageous.
