There is a long list of known examples, but you asked for one; so here it is:
When bacteria that had been growing in glucose for 10,000 generations were switched to maltose, and grown in maltose for a number of generations, three mutations were found that helped the bacteria to grow more rapidly in maltose.

What is an example of a good or bad mutation?
A good mutation is BACTERIAL FLAGELLA. A bad mutation is DOWN SINDRAM
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?
mutations
What is random errors when DNA is copied called?
It's called a mutation.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
What is an example of a good or bad mutation?
A good mutation is BACTERIAL FLAGELLA. A bad mutation is DOWN SINDRAM
What is an example of a good effect from a mutation?
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
Is mutation the same as successful reproduction?
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.
Is SCID a frameshift mutation or a point mutation?
point! good luck
Are mutations good?
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 does a mutation have the mutation impact on allele frequency?
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.
When does mutation have a most impact on Allele frequency?
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.
What could be a good effective a mutation?
More varity in a population
What could be a good effect of a mutation?
More varity in a population
How does genetic mutation effect the process of evolution?
If a particular mutation occurs in nature and proves to be beneficial, it can change the entire species to begin to have the same mutation and thus the same good trait. A creature with a mutation that say, gives it a longer tail (and chicks dig a long tail) than he will mate and that mutation will allow his genes to pass on.
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
The permanent change in a gene or a chromosome is called Mutation.
When was the first duck born?
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.
