Answer:

It is a beneficial mutation.

Explanation: Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. Mutations can beneficial, neutral and harmful or deleterious. When change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA a mutation enhances the effectiveness of a protein or improves the protein function, it is said to be beneficial. When a mutation causes the synthesis of a protein which have the same amino acid as the original protein and performs the same function as the original protein, it is said to be silent or neutral. When a mutation results in the synthesis of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence and a nonfunctional protein, it is said to be harmful.

Similarities between mitosis and meiosis (as many as possible, I really need help)
vesna_86 [32]
Meiosis and mitosis are both preceded by one round of DNA replication; however, meiosis includes two nuclear divisions. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell. 
so the similarities are: 
-ways for cells to divide 
-same number of chromosome as the original cell 
-both have the basic 5 phases 
-both processes go through chromosome replication 
-Meiosis II is similar to Mitosis 
I hope this is helpful :)))
