Radiation can damage DNA. This could result in a change in the proteins which make up the plant's physical structure. 

<span>For example, a plant might have a gene for purple pigment which makes its flowers purple. Radiation might change the DNA sequence so that the directions for making the purple pigment tell it to stop prematurely, and the result might be white flowers rather than purple flowers.</span>

A certain widely distributed mammalian species remained unchanged for about 30 million years. Most members of this species lived
sdas [7]
For the answer to the question above, p<span>unctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.</span>
