Factors in the environment may influence the rate of mutation but are not generally thought to influence the direction of mutation. For example, exposure to harmful chemicals may increase the mutation rate, but will not cause more mutations that make the organism resistant to those chemicals.In this respect, mutations are random  whether a particular mutation happens or not is unrelated to how useful that mutation would be.actors in the environment may influence the rate of mutation but are not generally thought to influence the direction of mutation.

Researchers performed genetic testing on 1,824 women who had been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. They found that almost 15 percent, or 267 women, carried one or more of the genetic mutations known to increase breast cancer risk. Most had a mutation in either BRCA1 or BRCA2; about 4 percentâ67 womenâcarried one of 15 lesser-known genetic mutations that also have been found to increase breast cancer risk.
