Answer: helpful mutation

Explanation: A mutation is a change in the sequence of genes and it is divided into different types. If the lobster is more likely to breed because of its colour mutation, it is a helpful, also known as beneficial, mutation. The reason is that it is obtaining a benefit because of its attractive colour.
