If a gene for a polypeptide has a mutation that causes an amino acid change but the new amino acid has very similar properties (e.g. non-polar amino acid substituted for another non-polar amino acid), then it is likely this mutation will have no effect on th function of the protein and will be termed a neutral mutation.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
