Which type of mutation plays the most important role in increasing the number of genes in the gene pool?
A. Changes in nucleotide sequence that lead to natural selection removing the allele from the population
B. Point mutation with a change in one base resulting in a harmful phenotype
C. Rearrangement of gene loci due to deleting or disrupting chromosomes

The type of mutation that plays the most important role in increasing the number of genes in the gene pool is gene duplication allowing for mutations to accumulate and expand the genome over generations.

WHAT IS MUTATION?

Mutation is a any change that alters the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecules caused by mutagens or errors during DNA replication.

Mutation can be of different types including;

  • Deletion mutation
  • Insertion mutation
  • Duplication mutation

Duplication mutation causes the number of nucleotides to increase, hence, increasing the number of genes in the gene pool.
