Can a mutation be beneficial to an organism? no. any change to existing dna is harmful. no. because mutations are caused by exposure to harmful radiation. yes. the benefit of a mutation can it survive in a particular environment. yes. a mutation can give an organism what it needs to survive.

Answer;

Yes. The benefit of a mutation can help it survive in a particular environment.

Explanation;

-Mutations are changes in the genetic code of an organism. There are different types if mutations, and they typically occur when DNA is being replicated and something goes wrong during the replication process, causing a base pair or set of base pairs to be changed somewhere in the DNA strand.

-Though mutations can be harmful, mutations can also be beneficial. In fact, beneficial mutations are the basis for evolution. When a mutation occurs that makes an organism better suited for its environment, then the organism is better able to survive and reproduce and the mutation can be passed along to the organism's offspring. This type of actively beneficial mutation is rare, but it does occur.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
