<h3>Answer;</h3>

D) Mutations lead to new genes, which may have an advantage over the old forms, causing the species to evolve.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Mutations are sudden, random changes that occur spontaneously in the genetic make up of an organism. Mutation are caused by various factors which includes errors in meiosis, and other factors such as chemical mutagens.
Mutations may be beneficial and may play an important role in evolution as they are raw material of genetic variation. Mutations may lead to genetic variations in the genetic make up of an organism . Therefore mutations are important to mutation since they create new DNA sequences for a given gene and thus resulting to new alleles.
