Ces milieux anormaux provoquent une augmentation de la fréquence des mutations, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de la diversité génétique. Cependant, selon les généticiens, la plupart de ces mutations anormales n'ont aucune valeur adaptative et ont même un effet négatif sur les organismes, car elles perturbent l'équilibre génétique résultant de milliers d'années de sélection naturelle. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9quilibre%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique
