Question

Duplication in the gene encoding a protein involved in vision has enabled humans to acquire trichromatic vision, which is the ability to distinguish between red, green, and blue colors. Which type of mutation is this?

Answer 1

This type of mutation is beneficial mutation

Mutations are permanent transmissible changes that occur in an individual’s genetic code. Some of these changes can cause destructive conditions such as sickle cell disease or Down syndrome, while many may not be harmful, and even irrelevant. Sometimes, a mutation that will provide an individual with a benefit may take place. This type of mutation is said to be beneficial. An example is the trichomatic vision of humans which gives humans the ability to perceive, and distinguish between red, green, and blue colors.
