Can mutation improve an organism's chances for survival?

Mutation helps species survive because a certain population of a species may undergo a change, and some organisms in the population may possess a certain mutation that will aid in the organisms survival. It is more likely the animals which possess these beneficial mutations will survive to pass this trait on to their offspring, thus re-populating the species with this new vital trait. This is called Natural Selection. It is Darwin's idea of 'Survival of the Fittest.'This is what causes some diseases to become immune to medication, but it also helps some animals from going extinct.
