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 is the cause of evolution. Mutation is what creates differences in individuals within a species, leading to diversion. Then "survival of the fittest" can occur.
A Missense Mutation.It is a point mutation where the mutations alters the base sequence without changing the resulting function of the subsequent protein. This is usually when the mutation does not change the amino acid which the codon codes for.
The curious thing about any type of genetic mutation is that it can change anything in any place on the affected chromosome. Most genetic mutations have no affect on the phenotype. In some extreme cases though (i.e. LOTS of radiation) offspring are known to have extensive genetic mutation.
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

mutation in exons are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in introns because mutaion in exons are silent mutation
It is possible for a point mutation to not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This will result in the protein being unchanged and will not affect the phenotype.
Yes, a mutation can occur without affecting the phenotype at all. For example, a point mutation may change a nucleotide in a codon, but sometimes, the codon can still code the same amino acid, so the mRNA strand can still make the same protein.

A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.

a mutation that does not affect protein production.
The genotype and the environment both affect a phenotype.

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.
