A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
Both establish that: 1. There are limited reproductive opportunities 2. Only those organisms with "favorable" traits will be allowed to reproduce and pass the traits onto their offspring The difference is that artificial selection involves human intervention
Probably not, albeit you may be...
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
The topography of the land affects where people choose to live. People will not live in areas where they land makes it difficult to survive.
Humans are the only cause of artificial selection. Humans take organisms that they think are useful, or may become useful and they breed them true for traits they want in the organism and they cull the organisms that do not possess traits that humans find useful. not all animals can be artificially selected though.
A mutation in a gene may not always affect an individuals phenotype because the mutation may occur in a non-coding region. This is known as silent mutation.
mutation can affect an organism's offspring
If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, then it may be inherited. Any mutation to the somatic cells will not be passed on. Any mutations that either of the parent organisms have will be inherited by their offspring.
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.

1. The mutation rates affect the evolution of the population by two factors. Firstly, every new mutation overcomes the effects of survival. When new mutations exist in one or two individuals, they are often lost from the population due to genetic drift, or change. For example, the mutation may never make it to a gamete and may get lost. Secondly, the selective value of the mutation can determine its affect of the population. If it's harmful then the selection would act to reduce its frequency and eventually remove it.
The amount of nutrients in freshwater will determine what type of organisms there are. If there is bacteria in the water, it may affect the nutrients and contaminate them, which will affect the organisms that live in the water.
The mutation may still code for the same amino acid, or it may cause a change in a non-critical region of the protein.

technicly yes, and it may affect the action of the telemorase, but don't forget, even if a mutation doesnt do anything, that doesnt mean it isn't a mutation. most mutations are silent (have no effect).
Because the somatic mutation only produces the color of the iris of the eye. The germ mutation is in charge of the cell which will produce a gamete. It may be passed onto the offspring. So the somatic mutation isn't as important as the germ mutation.
