This is the way by which production of truly new biological structures is accomplished, or what is essentially molecules-to-man type change that Darwinian evolution proposes. This is to say that the relationships between mutated genes are generally random and an increase in mutations only increases this randomization. For example, if 2 effected the same function or structure, they would be related. However, the relationship would be random and there is even less of a chance that the 2 mutations would work together progressively. An increase in the amount of mutations over a long period of time, while still adding progressively related mutations, would be adding a very large amount of harmful related mutations and neutral related mutations, and thus makes the chance for successful progressive gene evolution less likely. | ||
First and foremost, mutations either beneficial, negative or neutral are rare instances. They happen on average about once in every 10 million duplications of the DNA molecule (10<sup>7</sup>, a one followed by 7 zeroes). The problem comes when following the evolutionary paradigm and ultimately having to rely on hundreds if not thousands of related mutations. | First and foremost, mutations either beneficial, negative or neutral are rare instances.
