The Question and Thesis

Genetic Mutations

Research Question: Are genetic mutations in animals an aid to their living habits, and are mutations caused by the natural environment more beneficial than those induced by man's involvement?

Thesis Statement: Genetic mutations vary depending on the environment the animal has to survive in, though most caused by the natural environment appear to be beneficial.

Thesis with Tension Statement: While man is part of the world and people assume any mutation caused by humans is therefore natural, one that allows only the strong to survive, humans have their own unique and various forms of pollution that usually cause a negative mutation in animals while the natural environment brings about changes to make stronger animals or phase out the weaker of a species' population.
