The true statement 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 DNA sequence that do not affect the organism's phenotype or fitness. This can occur when a mutation does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein (such as a synonymous mutation), or when it occurs in a non-coding region of the DNA that does not affect gene function.
