Document Summary
Neutral mutation due to redundancy of genetic code: there is a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein, a different protein is formed. This mutation is also nutral with respect to natural selection. The natural selective advantageous or disadvantageous: mutation rate, too low to for mutation to be the principle force in evolutionary change, chromosomal mutations, the position of a gene on a chromosome may be important. If the genes position is changed, that change may have been phenotypic consequences.
