Mutation does not equal speciation
( new unchanging species)
Morgan realized that one of its genes had been altered and it had produced a new kind of eye. Morgan bred the white-eyed fly with a red-eyed fly and got a generation of red-eyed hybrids. And when he bred the hybrids together, some of the grandchildren were white-eyed. Their ratio was three red to one white. Here was a mutation, but one that didn't fit DeVries's(Mendel's) definition. DeVries
thought that mutations created new species, but the fly that had acquired the white-eyed mutation remained a member
of the same species. It could still mate with other fruit flies, and its gene could be passed down to later generations in proper Mendelian fashion.
