I was completely thinking

I was completely thinking the same exact thing while we were discussing this topic on Friday. From our discussion it sort of seemed as if mutation mainly occurs out of a random occurance but maybe that's just half of the story.

So does the mutation occur as a direct result of random occurance or do external factors influence them --> DNA is affected in the way it is replicated?
