Mutations are changes that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

HOPE THIS HELPS :)

Which statement is false about fungi?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C) Most fungi get their nutrients by ingesting small pieces of other living organisms.

Explanation:

Most fungi are saprotroph, it is, they obtain  nutrients by decomposing  non-living organic matter -i.e.  dead plant or animal matter-  and absorbing soluble organic compounds; carbohydrates are the preferred carbon source.

A smaller percentage of fungal species are parasites, and obtain nutrients from living hosts (other living organisms).
