3. a mutation causes a specific variation within the population
4. a mutation causes an inactivated gene to be reactivated

Answer 1

1. a mutation causes a specific advantage within the population

Natural selection occurs when a mutation provides a specific advantage to an organism, allowing it to survive and reproduce better than others in the population. Over time, this advantageous trait will become more prevalent in the population through the process of natural selection.
