These two processes sserve up the variation in individual organisms that natural selection selects from against the immediate environment. So, the individuals selected, on the basis of greater survivability and reproductive success, over their conspecifics are the individuals that pass on these traits tp progeny and when evough of these traits become represented in the populations gene pool allele frequency shifts and evolution occurs.

What is the relationship between genetic variations and mutations?

Mutations are random changes in DNA; genetic recombinations are new arrangements of genetic material (as a result of sexual reproduction). Together, they are the "fuel" that powers the "evolution machine," the direction of which is determined by natural selection.
