Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Mutations are changes in the genetic (nucleotide) sequence of the genome of an organism. According to their effects, mutations can be divided into beneficial, neutral and detrimental for the fitness of the organism, i.e., its ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment. Moreover, mutations can also be classified according to the type of cell that suffers the mutation into 1-somatic mutations that occur in somatic cells and are not inherited, and 2-germinal mutations that occur in germinal cells (i.e., gametes) which can pass to the next generation. In regard to the question above, only those mutations that occur in the germline and are beneficial for the organism (in the environment in which it lives) are expected to become more common in a population.
