The correct response is:
**No, because some mutations can decrease an organism's fitness.**
While mutations do introduce variations, not all mutations are beneficial or lead to evolutionary changes. Many mutations can be neutral or detrimental, negatively impacting an organism's fitness and therefore not contributing to evolution.
