  1. A beneficial mutation found in nature is an adaptation to temperature.
    This could help an animal in harsh conditions, but could kill it if it adapts to the opposite temperature .

  5. I had a an idea the other day where let's say frog A is born with the ability to channel the fuel and minerals in the stuff it eats. Let's say that frog A gets it's leg sliced open by a sharp piece of grass. Frog B also has a similar injury. Since frog A is ability to direct the minerals and proteins to the wound, thus making it heal faster than the injury on frog B. Through the process of evolution, would frog A prosper and become a super species?
