What are the main differences between modifications and mutations?

The distinctive features of mutation and modification include:
– with mutation, changes are transmitted to the offspring, and with modification, such transmission is excluded;
– during modification, the phenotype changes, and mutational changes affect the genotype;
– changes during modification are predictable, and in the case of mutation, the result is not determined;
– mutation presupposes changes in a specific organism, and modification affects the whole group;
– modification implies variability to adapt to changed conditions, and mutation does not have such a goal.
