One example of a beneficial mutation in genetics is the mutation that causes sickle cell anemia. This mutation provides some protection against malaria, making individuals with this mutation less susceptible to the disease.

What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before mutation?

The neutral mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by the codon. A good example is the RNA codon that could be the CCA, CCC or the CCG.


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
