Answer 1

Mutations are either helpful, harmful, or neutral, depending on the organism's environment.

In different contexts, a mutation may confer an advantage (helpful), cause negative effects (harmful), or have no significant impact on the organism’s fitness (neutral). The effects of mutations are influenced by various factors, including environmental conditions and the specific genetic context in which they occur.
