How can mutations lead to evolution by natural selection?

0

Mutations are the raw material that Natural Selection works on. If all beings of a species were the same, there would be no selection. With mutations, they differ, so that Selection can “choose” the best and “reject” the worst. (The quotes are to emphasize that there is nothing intelligent about Natural Selection, merely that those born with all the advantages win more often than those born without).
