Starcraft – Which Mutations are related with which availiable upgrades in Multiplayer

starcraft-2

In the Heart of the Swarm campaign there are some mutations that are the same as some availiable upgrades in the normal multiplayer game mode. But Most mutations are not availiable in multiplayer.

For example the mutation Grooved Spines is also an upgrade in the Hydralisk Den.

I would like to play the campaign with maximum learn effect, so I would prefer to mutate my units like it would be possible in multiplayer later too.

Comparison list which are exactly the same:
