text: Nevertheless, the mutations that constantly appear in any species—many of them persisting latently for a long time within the population in the form of recessive mutations—serve as a reservoir for heritable variation that enables natural selection to restructure the hereditary characteristics of a species and adapt the species to changing environmental conditions, such as changes in climate, biocenosis, or migration.
