Mutations are structural changes to genes that may affect proteins. Shins are beneficial meaning they help the organism. Some mu
tations are harmful because they reduce the organism ability to survive or reproduce other mutations neither help nor harm the organism. These are called neutral mutations. The three images below show organism with mutations.
Which of these mutations would be considered neutral Mutations?
A
B
C
A & C
The change of colour in both A and B, affect the organisms ability to survive and reproduce. In the case of the white deer, and the black moth, they could be more prone to predation. The cat in contrast has an eye of another colour but this does not affect his ability to see.
