unmutated
Kept original form
Unmutated describes something that has not undergone mutation—remaining in its original genetic or structural form.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts: The unmutated gene functions normally, researchers compared mutated and unmutated cell lines.
Outside biology, it can describe anything unchanged from its original state.
