The cumulative effect of mutations is neutral and not transformative in vast majority of normal cells since the mutational effect follows a Gaussian distribution as proposed by our model.
A large amount of mutations is neutral: 53.07%.

But most mutations are neutral in their effect.Sexual reproduction mixes up the DNA, distributing neutral mutations around the population.
Most of the spontaneous mutations are neutral or deleterious, while disadvantage mutations will be discarded, and neutral mutations can still retain.
The vast majority of DNA-changes (mutations) are neutral from the point of view of fitness, and therefore tend to accumulate over time.
Whereas an accurate understanding recognizes that most new mutations are neutral or harmful in a given environment, such naïve interpretations assume that mutations occur as a response to environmental challenges and therefore are always beneficial (Fig. 2).
Most new mutations are neutral with respect to survival and reproduction and therefore are irrelevant in terms of natural selection (but not, it must be pointed out, to evolution more broadly).
"Normal" users may not even know that the software they are using is different from the software used by the person in the neighboring cubicle because the mutations are neutral with respect to the standard program behavior.
Studies of other transgenic assays have shown that time after treatment is a very important variable in the analysis of mutation frequencies but that eventually a plateau frequency is reached, indicating that the mutations are neutral.
Although most mutations are neutral with no effect on fitness or harmful, some mutations have a small, positive effect on fitness and these variants are the raw materials for gradualistic adaptive evolution.
Although it is known that many mutations are neutral, or almost neutral, with a very small effect on fitness (Futuyma 2009), in this teaching resource, we only considered influential genes (e.g., the HOX gene) affecting body plans of the embryo.
