Background information: .
A species of moths has wings that are 4cm long and 2 cm wide.
. - A moth was hatched that has a mutation on the gene responsible for the length of the wings. It develops wings that are 1 % cm long,
and 2 cm wide.
Question: Would this mutation be beneficial, neutral, or harmful to the survival of the moth?
O Neutral because they moth still has wings
O Harmful because the moth has a different color wing that it should so it won't be able to find a mate

escape predators
Beneficial because now the moth has better camouflage
