Mutations are unnatural changes in the body or behavior. They are not always bad. For instance, the skin of the poison tree frog is not really bad at all. It rubs itself on poison leaves and mutated itself not to be affected.

Are all mutation harmful?
Mutations that succeed [are beneficial] provide Evolution, so not at all.
Can mutations occur in jellyfish?
Mutations happen in ALL living things (and also in viruses)!!!!!!
Are all mutations passed on to your children?
No, not all mutations are passed on to children. Mutations can occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) and if they are present in those cells, they can be passed on to the next generation. However, most mutations occur in non-reproductive cells and are not passed on to offspring.
Are errors in DNA replication always bad?
No. The errors in copying dna gives rise to mutations within an organism, which is the key driver of evolution. The mutations which benefit the organism in surviving its environment make it more likely to reproduce, thus spreading it through the population. Mutations that arent beneficial are by the same process less likely to be spread. However sexual selection can override this general rule. As in the case of the peacock and its amazing tail. Although this tail is technically a hinderance to the peacocks everyday life, peahens have, by selecting males with the best tails, effectively designed the tail over many generations.
What is the most likely effect of an error during DNA translation?
The most likely effect of an error during DNA translation is a mutation. Some mutations are beneficial, some are deadly and some are what is called "nonsense" mutations. Nonsense mutations have no benefits nor do they have any "bad" consequences.
Are all mutations bad.?
No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations
What can mutations do and do not do?
They can tell you what they are nd what they arent.....
Are all mutations bad Explain your answer?
No
How are mutations useful in breeding?
mutations are useful but not all the time itis 99 percent are bad
Are chromosomes bad for mutations?
No. But they are necessary for mutations to arise. Likewise, they are also necessary in order for mutations not to arise.
Are artificial proteins bad for you?
no they arent
Is mutation always bad true or false?
No, not all the time Mutations can be harmful, helpful, or neutral.
Are pitbuls bad?
pitbuls are not bad because they look like it but they arent
What are good mutations?
A third arm wouldn't be bad.
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
Are poles good footballers?
Poles arent bad footballers
Is evolution good or bad?
Genetic mutations can be good or bad, but evolution refers specifically to those mutations that make an organism better able to survive and to perpetuate their species, which makes them generally a good thing.
