Mutation in Terms of Genetic Codes
Mutation can be explained in terms of genetic codes as a change in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can lead to a change in the protein that the gene codes for, which can in turn lead to a change in the characteristics of the organism.
Mutation
A mutation is a change in the genetic material of a cell. Mutations can be caused by environmental factors, such as radiation, or by errors that occur as the cell divides. Mutations can also be passed from one generation to the next.
