Question

question 9 2 pts mutations that neither help nor harm an organism are called
allele mutations.
neutral mutations.
regulatory mutations.
value - free mutations.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • "allele mutations" is not a term for mutations with no effect on the organism's fitness.
  • "neutral mutations" are defined as mutations that do not confer a selective advantage or disadvantage (neither help nor harm the organism).
  • "regulatory mutations" affect gene regulation, not necessarily being neutral.
  • "value - free mutations" is not a standard biological term for this concept.

Answer:

B. neutral mutations.
