適応的突然変異
Wikipedia definition
1. Adaptive mutationEvolutionary theory describes that mutagenesis occurs randomly, regardless of the utility of a genetic mutation to the organism. If it is beneficial or neutral, the organism will survive to reproduce and pass on the mutation. However, molecular biologist John Cairns has proposed that "when populations of single cells are subject to certain forms of strong selection pressure, variants emerge bearing changes in DNA sequence that bring about an appropriate change in phenotype.
