Which mutation would most likely be selected against during evolution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mutation in a coding region of a gene is more likely to result in a nonfunctional or detrimental protein, and therefore it would be selected against during evolution. Mutations in noncoding regions or neutral mutations would not necessarily have an impact on the protein function, and may even be neutral or selected for under certain circumstances. Mutations in short tandem repeat regions may have varying effects depending on the specific circumstances.
