Answer:It could happen naturally through Mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

What is mutation?

Mutation is a process where by the DNA of an organism changes.

This can happen when one base of a DNA is deleted somehow through some error in the DNA system or it could also happen if a new base is introduced (insertion) into the already existing DNA system changing the sequence of the DNA or it could also happen when the base is duplicated into two bases(duplication).

These changes may result to the change in the behaviour of an organism or it may change the way the organism looks.
