Question

How are genetic mutations caused and what effect can they have on an organism?

Answer 1

Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an

organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs

in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a

protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of

the protein.

Hoping my answer works for you :)
