Some mutations persist in a population due to their beneficial effects, enhancing survival or reproductive success, which increases their frequency through natural selection. Conversely, harmful mutations may be eliminated from the gene pool as individuals carrying them have lower fitness. Additionally, neutral mutations can become fixed by genetic drift, especially in small populations. Overall, the fate of a mutation depends on its impact on fitness and the population structure.
