The only source of entirely new genetic material is mutation. It is a new genetic variant that occurs in nature.
<h3>What is a mutation?</h3>
A mutation can be defined as any alteration of the genetic material (genome) of the cells of an organism.
Mutation represents the primary source for which a new genetic variant occurs (and then can be fixed) in nature.
Mutation can be beneficial, neutral, or deleterious depending on the environment in which the organism lives.
