• Neutral mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region and results in a harmful disease.
• Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.
• Neutral mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region that codes for proteins.
• Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region provides an advantage that helps the organism survive.

The true statement is:
• Neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original.
Neutral mutations typically do not affect the organism's fitness and can occur in regions of DNA that may be non-coding or result in synonymous changes in protein-coding regions, where the amino acid sequence remains unchanged.
