Answer 1

a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population

This scenario will always lead to natural selection because individuals with the advantageous mutation will have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, passing on the mutation to future generations. Over time, this mutation may become more prevalent in the population due to the increased fitness of individuals carrying it.
