Answer:

Evolution is not random

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolution is not random it is the product of the environment surrounding the living thing although genetic mutations are random. Natural selection allows these animals with certain genetic mutations to prosper over the others without this mutation.

Answer:

Evolution is not a random process.(Or at least i think so.)

Explanation: The genetic variation on which natural selection acts may occur randomly, but natural selection itself is not random at all. The survival and reproductive success of an individual is directly related to the ways its inherited traits function in the context of its local environment
