a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population

Explanation: Natural selection acts on heritable variation that affects fitness. A mutation that confers a reproductive or survival advantage will be favored and increase in frequency; neutral changes or deleterious/inactivated/reactivated genes do not necessarily trigger selection.
