1. Mutation: In mutation, some nucleotide sequences get change and this change can occur due to frameshift, addition, deletion or any other process. This change in nucleotide can be seen in phenotype and helps in the evolution of the species.

2. Fertilization: During fertilization mixing of the genome of two individual takes place which results in producing a genetically distinct offspring which contains variation. So as the offspring is genetically different it can contain new alleles that can help the individual to survive in the changing environment.
