Of all of these types of mutations man has observed in organisms, the vast majority are harmful
Cutting off the tails of many generations of mice disproved this theory
Inheritance of acquired characteristics

This is often described as being very much like selective breeding and it works only for characteristics already in existence
natural selection
The gradual change of one kind of organism into another
biological evolution
The term survival of the fittest is associated with his theory
