What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?

A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.

In Serial position effect items least likely to be remembered?

In the serial position effect, items presented in the middle of a list are less likely to be remembered compared to items at the beginning (primacy effect) and at the end (recency effect) of the list. This is because items in the middle have less opportunity for rehearsal and are overshadowed by items at the beginning and end.
