The answer is;  Acridine orange

This mutagen causes an insertion or deletion mutation because it is able to dupe the polymerases enzyme due to its structure that fits in the active site just like nucleic acids.  It is thus placed in place of a nucleic acid. During repair and replication, since the polymerase is not able to identify the right base pair to pair with the mutagen, it places any nucleic acid in the complementary strand . The intercalation interferes with the codon sequence (causing it to shift by a base pair) hence causing a frameshift mutation.

What is the importance of neutral variation in evolution?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A trait that is neutral in one environment may be advantageous in another.

Explanation:

Neutral variation refers to the variation (either genetic or phenotypic variation) which is unaffected by natural selection. Neutral variation is known to increase genetic variation, which is a prerequisite to evolutionary change. An allele may be neutral in one environment and beneficial (or deleterious) in another. In consequence, neutral variation in one environment may increase the response to selection in different environmental conditions.
