Mutations are small and directional.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The incorrect statement is that mutations are small and directional. According to Hugo de Vries, mutations are large, sudden, and random (non-directional) changes in the genetic material. In contrast, Darwinian variations are small and directional, leading to gradual evolution. Hugo de Vries's work on evening primrose $(Oenothera 	ext{ lamarckiana})$ led to the Mutation Theory, which emphasizes that evolution is a saltatory (discontinuous) process, not a gradual one.
