If it becomes possible for orgainisums to alter their DNA or even just their phenotype through Biotechnology or similar tecnology would it be possible for evolution to occor?
Yes.
Normaly individual organisums cannot evolve because mutations can only take place in one cell at a time although a single celled orgainisum could be said to evolve if it mutated.
No, if an individual single cell organism mutates into something else, it would be called a mutation, not evolution. The way evolution is defined nowadays prevent such usage in such manner.
If a mutated cell is not a gamete then the mutation is not passed down.
Not really. Cells that multiply through mitosis can pass down their mutations as well.
But if an individual organisum could alter it's DNA it could evolve right?
No, it would mutate. Again, based on our current definition of evolution, a single organism cannot evolve no matter what you do with it.
Would we call this evolution? Or would this be something else?
I'm going to side with Kafka and call it metamorphosis.
