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 :)

Answer:
Most likely diagnosis is Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), most likely caused by years of prolonged exposure to sunlight over time.
Explanation:
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a common type of skin cancer that develops when the basal cells that is responsible for producing new skin cells when they die, become mutated and causes the basal cell to abnormally multiply rapidly and continues to grow. The accumulation of these abnormal cells is what results in cancerous tumors that appears like ulcers on the skin. Prolong and intense exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight has been linked to the most likely cause for the mutation of the DNA in the basal cells which leads the abnormal cell growth and multiplication. People who expose themselves to the radiation of the sun for longer periods, over time, are at high risk of developing this cancer.
<span>Not every member of a particular species (one kind of organism) must be able to reproduce in order for the species to survive. If you take homo sapiens for example (Humans) there are many males and females around the world who are sterile and unable to reproduce, yet you still see the human species flourishing. </span>
