Heart rate is controlled by the two branches of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) releases the hormones (catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine) to accelerate the heart rate.

No.
This is because mutations not only help a species survive in certain conditions, but also allows diversity within a population. For instance, a bug species can develop a mutation to bug spray, allowing it to survive through its prey or killers. Therefore, ultimately benefiting and helping the species.
Hope this helps!
