In the context of organic chemistry, are all mutations in organic molecules harmful?
A
Mutations only occur in biological systems, not in organic molecules.
B
Yes, all mutations lead to harmful effects.
C
Mutations always result in the formation of toxic compounds.
D
No, some mutations can be neutral or even beneficial.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mutations refer to changes in the genetic material of an organism, which is a biological concept rather than a chemical one.
Recognize that organic molecules are the building blocks of life, and changes in these molecules can occur naturally or be induced.
Acknowledge that not all mutations are harmful; some can be neutral, having no effect on the organism, or even beneficial, providing an advantage in certain environments.
Consider examples of beneficial mutations, such as those that confer resistance to diseases or allow organisms to adapt to new environments.
Conclude that the statement 'No, some mutations can be neutral or even beneficial' is correct, as it reflects the complexity and variability of mutations in biological systems.
