Many, if not most, mutations are neutral, meaning that they have little or no effect on the expression of genes or the function of the proteins for which they code.

Mutations usually cause things to evolve, depending on the gene which is mutated. Mutations are changes in the genetic material of an organism resulting in changes in the gene pool (if the mutated traits are passed on). If the mutated gene is a desirable/advantageous one, then the chances that it willbe passed on to future generations is increased. In this process, which occurs over a period of time, old genes may be lost in the gene pool, resulting in evolution.I don't see how it doesn't cause evolution.
mutations
that living things can breath and non living things cant
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
Mutations and sexual reproduction.
Mutations and sexual reproduction.
All living "Organic" things or life forms will mutate as a process of natural selection. This ensures that the strongest species survives. Without mutations, organisms would not evolve or improve their success to survive!

It is part of the Respiratory Cycle of most living things on Earth.
Natural selection (survival of the fittest) means that valuable adaptations and mutations have the greatest number of surviving descendants.
Nations rely on one another for living things they cannot produce themselves.
Causes of variation is random mutation. Random mutations constantly occur in the genomes of organisms; these mutations create genetic variation. If all living things were same, we will all use up one type of food as our nutrient source and eventually we will run out of food to consume.. making less likely for us to survive..
Things that cause mutations such as heat, radiation, etc..
