Well if something mutates to be resistant to a disease or pathogen or something of the like then it can become immune to diseases etc. - of course it is bad if a disease mutates to be immune to a medicine or remedy though.
Good or bad is very subjective and too general of a question. It's generally consider "good" if the mutation helps the host be a better Survivor in its environment. e.g.: if a genetic mutation helps you cope with stress better, then it is considered to have beneficial features. If it kills you, then it's harmful. If the mutation is beneficial to a virus that kills people better survive its environment then it's good for the virus and bad for the host.
Mutations help with evolution. They change organisms so that they look different and act different. Without mutations, everything would look the same.

Generally, mutation.
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.
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
Without mutation there can be no evolution. Without evolution there can be no speciation.
this is called a mutation
There is no such thing as "the first duck." all things on earth evolved slowly, mutation by mutation, so that they fit their environment. Things that have good mutations live and have kids, and their kids have that mutation. That's how evolution works.
The significance of the mutation of living things is that mutation allows species to adapt to their environments over time (variations in human skin color are a good example of this). It is also a major part of Darwin's all but proven Theory of Evolution.
A good mutation is BACTERIAL FLAGELLA. A bad mutation is DOWN SINDRAM
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
its called survival of the fittest. if by some chance there is a mutation during a time of change in a living things surroundings and the mutation helps that living thing survive while other living things not "fit" to survive that change will have a lesser chance of surving. If that mutation passes on to the mutated living things children then that is what leads to evolution in living things.
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.
point! good luck
Not always. there are two types of mutations, A Good mutation or a bad one. A bad mutation will happen very rarely but could still happen, The chances are almost to none But there are also good mutations, The chances of getting a good mutation are 0.001 When mutations happen, And its bad, For an example a Cell If it gets a bad mutation, It will most likely not be able to compete with other cells for resources. But if the mutation is "Good" The DNA which is a genetic code will be changed to have the good mutation put it. A good mutation for a bacteria would be antibiotic resistance. Bacteria Reproduce every 20 Minutes by dividing, So on a petri dish having the bacteria lay there for 24 hours, would have More than millions of Bacteria on it. And in those moments of reproducing a Good or bad mutation WILL happen. When you use hand sanitiser you kill germs right? But hand sanitiser says 99.99%, The .001% that lives has a good mutation that makes is be Resistant to antibiotics
When the population is small or When there is no gene flow Small population, germ line mutation, beneficial mutation that gets into many progeny and a good deal of luck.
