Adaptive Mutation Notes:
Adaptive mutation is an idea that genetic changes or more specifically, mutations will increase when organisms live in stressful environments and these changes help these organisms to survive under such environmental conditions. Many experiments have been conducted in microorganisms, which have tried to prove and disapprove the notion of adaptive mutation.
