Do Random Mutations in species exist?

"First Hand"

In Germany, we use the term "mathematically random mutation". This describes more exactly what occurs. The mutations occur with a mathematical probability at a random genetic location. It's not like "we might or might not get a mutation", it's "we will see a mutation in a certain genetic area, but we can't predict the exact base pairs".

Thanks, that sounds plausible. Do you work perform work as a geneticist?
Understanding the specific connotation certainly makes a difference.
Random to many means a purposeless attempt at novelty (random seeking).

Although in thought -- as a method of investigation or of seeking a solution, genetic mutations performed as purposeful chance constructions, in search for opportunity (random seeking) are plausible actions, it is likely that mutations are conducive provisions of response to environmental stressors. In other words, changes in genotype follow phenotype rather than visa versa.

I find the possibilities for lattitude in the "developmental-genetic toolkit" contain more reason.
The implication that large evolutionary changes in body morphology are associated with changes in gene regulation, rather than the evolution of new genes, suggested that the action of natural selection on promoters responsive to Hox and other "switch" genes may play a major role in evolution.
