Mutations

That's a good question. There are a number of ways of producing a new genome.It would depend on how you define mutation. Would you include a copying error or only something caused by something like a cosmic ray? Do you include recombinations of the existing chromosomes of parents?How would you count changes? Everyone has a few changes from their parents. Do all changes count equally? What about changes that have large effects on the phenotype?What do you mean by 'based off'?

You need a real geneticist or better take some time with google yourself.Evolution is "based on" both mutations and natural selection. Selection needs variation to work on. Mutations by themselves would just produce random changes of no long term value to the organisms.If you count all 'changes' as mutation then I guess 100% of the novelty comes from them and selection pares them down.

Your site talks of "specified complexity".How about going to this topic and filling us in on what it is? Complex Specified Information (CSI)

First you need to say what you mean when you talk about "information".

Darned if I know. It started asking about what the place of mutations were. Where are we now?
