What process makes change in living things possible?
Well its evolution of course, but that happens when there is random mutation to a specific gene, e.g colour. if this gene mutation helps improve the living things chances of survival it is passed on to their offspring.
How does mutation lead to evolution?
its called survival of the fittest. if by some chance there is a mutation during a time of change in a living things surroundings and the mutation helps that living thing survive while other living things not "fit" to survive that change will have a lesser chance of surving. If that mutation passes on to the mutated living things children then that is what leads to evolution in living things.
