Exploring the Effects of Mutation Rate on Populations Lesson Overview This lesson allows students to explore relationships between mutation rate and fitness and how each influences the evolution of a population over time. Big Ideas Fitness is, simply stated, a relative measure of an organism’s ability to survive and, ultimately, reproduce in the environment in which it lives. Some organisms are more fit than others in the same population due to variation in traits that contribute to survival and reproduction. Traits that confer a reproductive advantage are more l
