What is endoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a continuous membrane structure in biology, is vital for the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins. It forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. An endoplasmic reticulum can be found in all eukaryotic cells (ER). The ER typically makes up more than 50% of the cell's membranous composition in animal cells. The two forms of ER, known as rough ER and smooth ER, can be distinguished by differences in certain morphological and functional properties.

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)
