Mutagenesis is important because it effects all living organisms. It can be a major factor in many human diseases (e.g. cancer). In a more constructive light, it is the driving force behind evolution and is how organisms can develop adaptations to their environments.
mutation are generally harmful. sometimes or very rarely is a mutation beneficial, but when a mutation is beneficial the mutation is passed down the generation. over a very long period of time, mutations in a population will create a new species which is adapted to its environment

A genetic mutation is helpful if it increases the chance of an organism reproducing. For example being better able to compete for resources and/or find a mate.
