Answer: Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral

Step-by-step explanation:

Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious. In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation's probability of being deleterious.
