Question

Which statement is true?

Netural mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region that codes for proteins

Neutral mutations occur when a mutations is found in a DNA region and results in a harmful disease

Neutrual mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region and results in a harmful disease

Netural mutations occur when a mutation is a DNA region provides an advantage that helps the organisms survive.

Netural mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original

Answer 1

The statement that is true is:

**Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.**

Neutral mutations are changes in the genetic sequence that do not significantly affect the organism's fitness or phenotype, meaning they neither provide an advantage nor a disadvantage. This can occur when a mutation does not alter the amino acid sequence of a protein due to the redundancy of the genetic code or when it occurs in a non-coding region of DNA.
