<span>Neutral mutations are neither harmful nor beneficial.
Therefore, they are invisible to natural selection. (Since they neither improve nor worsen one individual's chances of survival and reproduction over another.)
However neutral mutations can still spread into the population by just random replications and matings. This is called genetic drift.
In other words, they are 'silent'. They are mutations that exist and propagate in populations, but seem to have no effect at all.
The reason they can become important to evolution is that a day can come when they *do* have an effect. In other words, even though an individual mutation may have no immediate effect on survival or reproduction, a *combination* of neutral mutations may provide some new benefit or harm ... at which point natural selection *will* act on that combination.

I Believe This Is Correct.

Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which
we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism,
begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the
same function as those found on other species.
In order to correctly classify an organism,
scientists use many modern tools.
1.Morphology describes the physical
characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place
the organism within a domain and kingdom.
2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow
scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.
3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to
group organisms that share common fetal development.
<span>4.Evolutionary
phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These
relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from
ancestor to new species. Traits
may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits
(shared genes).
Its d i think im not sure but its most likely
