Question

पर्याय

• Mutation

• Natural selection

• Survival of the fittest

• Struggle for existence

Answer 1

Mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is not associated with Darwin’s original theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin’s theory focused on natural selection, survival of the fittest, and struggle for existence as driving forces of evolution. Mutation as a source of genetic variation became important later, especially with the development of genetics in the 20th century.
