Which statement is true? (1 point)

Question

A neutral mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region that codes for proteins
B neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region results in the same sequence as the original
C neutral mutations occur when a mutation in a DNA region provides an advantage that helps the organism survive
D neutral mutations occur when a mutation is found in a DNA region and results in a harmful disease

Answer 1

The correct statement is: B 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 protein's function or the organism's fitness, often because they do not change the encoded amino acid (due to the redundancy in the genetic code) or occur in non-coding regions.
