Which statement best describes how a mutation interacts with evolution in a species?
Mutations always cause an immediate effect and new species will evolve in the next generation.
Mutations are always lethal and thus cause the extinction of the species in which they occur.
Mutations rarely occur in the egg or sperm so their effect on a species and its evolution is rare.
Mutations can give an advantage during environmental changes that allows new species to evolve.
