lethal mutation
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.

Not all mutations are harmful. A mutation the give the organism antibiotic resistance, for example, is quite helpful. A different mutation that causes a necessary protein to misfold may result in death. In general mutations that affect proteins that are necessary for life will result in the death of the organism. One such mutation is in the protein p53 which is necessary to prevent a cell from growing uncontrollable (cancer). A mutation in p53 could result in a cell with damaged DNA to reproduce - this is what we call cancer.
A mutation can be considered a benefit to an organism in many ways. Depending on what the mutation is, this can help an organism escape death, or be faster, or even hide better from predators.
Mutations can improve the trait, harm the trait, or neither.
environment and the specific role of the gene that is mutated. In some cases, a mutation may provide an advantage, allowing an organism to better survive and reproduce. In other cases, a mutation may be harmful if it disrupts essential functions or causes diseases.
The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.
A point mutation is a mutation that can affect the gametes of an organism. This type of mutation involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, which can result in altered genetic information being passed on to offspring.
When lethal genes are present in the organism's chromosomes, the organism is unable to survive. Semi Lethal genes are harmful to the organism but does not cause Death. E.g Huntington Chorea in human
b: the organism, but not its offspring
Some mutations produce new traits that can help an organism survive.
In the base sequence of the DNA part of the DNA changes which causes a change in the whole DNA which is called a mutation.
