Genetic mutations are alterations in an organism's genetic material that can lead to changes in physical characteristics. There are two main types: chromosomal mutations affecting the structure or number of chromosomes, and gene mutations influencing the DNA code, potentially resulting in new traits. Mutations can occur naturally or be induced by mutagens, impacting evolution. They can be beneficial or harmful, with examples like resistance to HIV. Various mutation types such as addition, substitution, and deletion can cause disorders like Klinefelter syndrome or chromosomal aneuploidies. Genetic variations play a crucial role in genetic diversity and evolutionary processes.

DNA - MUtations

DNA - MUtations. GENE Mutations. CHROMOSOMAL Mutations. DNA - Mutations. A third key function/ability of DNA is that it can undergo a mutation. Most of the time these mutations are negative, but on occasion a newer better form of a gene may be produced.

Mutations and DNA Technology

Mutations and DNA Technology. What is a mutation?. A mutation is a change in DNA Two types of mutations are gene mutations and chromosome mutations. Gene mutations. A POINT MUTATION is a mutation that affects one nucleotide or one base. Sometimes your cell catches it when proofreading.
