Question

Do organisms intentionally mutate

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutation is basically a glitch in you DNA. It can be brought upon an organism by environmental factors like radiation, but an organism can't choose to mutate.

Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

So, yes, we can end up with genes we wish to have in an organism. ... Well, the problem is that a mutation is actually either a deletion or insertion within a sequence of nucleotides, things that make up a gene. Now, in later generations of offspring, genes will mutate randomly on their own anyway.
