What else can I help you with?
Does the environment determine if a mutation is harmful of helpful?
If it is harmful it will not survive long
Is a substitution mutation harmful?
A substitution mutation can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral, depending on its context. If the mutation alters a critical amino acid in a protein, it may disrupt its function and lead to disease. However, some substitutions may have no effect on protein function or could even provide an advantage in certain environments. The overall impact of a substitution mutation is determined by various factors, including the specific gene involved and the organism's environment.
Explain how a mutation could have no effect on the organism?
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
What is the difference between helpful and harmful mutation?
a beneficial mutation in an animal, plant, cell or bacteria will allow it to have a better chance of survival and allow it to continue passing on its DNA in its offspring. a harmful mutation does the exact opposite it hinders the animals survival and will eventually lead it's species to extinction.
Why should a mutation persist if it kills people?
A mutation may persist if it provides a survival advantage to carriers despite its harmful effects on some individuals. This could be due to factors such as increased reproductive success or traits that benefit the species as a whole. Additionally, the mutation may not affect individuals until after they have already passed on their genes.
What is a harmful mutation?
a mutation is sometimes a form of adaptation, but if something changes in the DNA of the species and could possibly be harmful to it, that is a harmful mutation.Examples:-born without a part of the brain-cancer is a form of a harmful mutation-hypoglycemia
How could a mutation be helpful rather than harmful?

Why are some mutation not harmful?
Some mutations can be deadly, harmful, or have no effect. Correct, not all mutations are harmful. Some mutations could even have a positive effect and help the creature adapt.
Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.
Can Mutation be harmful?
yes some....
Is a mutation deleterious?
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
When would mutation not be harmful?
Mutation would not be harmful if the mutation allowed an animal to live longer. This may be the case if an animal that is not normally albino is born albino in a place that gets a lot of snow.
Is mutation always harmful for human body?
No. Although there is a chance of a beneficial mutation, the chance of it occurring is almost astronomical. Most mutations are harmful to humans.
