    Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA sequence. They can be caused by errors during cell division or exposure to mutagens like UV rays or chemicals. Most mutations are harmful, but some can be beneficial by allowing organisms to adapt. There are different types of mutations including chromosome mutations, which involve changes to chromosomes, and gene mutations, which alter DNA sequences. Gene mutations include point mutations, insertions, substitutions, and deletions. Mutations can have morphological, lethal, conditional, or biochemical effects on the organism depending on the functional changes caused.

    What is Mutation?
    Any change in the DNA sequence
    of a cell. Mutations may be
    caused by mistakes during cell
    division, or they may be caused
    by exposure to DNA-damaging
    agents in the environment.
    What causes Mutation?
    • Replication errors can causes mutations.

    • Mutagens, such as UV ray and chemicals, can cause


    mutations.

    • Some cancer drugs use mutagenic properties to kill


    cancer cells.
    Are Mutation Helpful or Harmful?

    Mutational effects can be beneficial,


    harmful, or neutral, depending on their
    context or location. Most non-neutral
    mutations are deleterious. In general, the
    baser pairs that are affected by a
    mutation, the larger the effect of the
    mutation, and the larger the mutation's
    probability of being deleterious.
    Types of Mutation

    Spontaneous mutation Induced Mutation


    They are mainly caused during They are caused by the changes in
    DNA replication or by DNA brought about by some
    incorporation of incorrect environmental factor called
    nucleotide in the growing DNA mutagens.
    chain.
    Chromosome Mutation

    May Involve:

    ● Changing the structure of a chromosome.


    ● The loss or gain of part of a chromosome.

    Types:

    ● Deletion
    ● Inversion
    ● Translocation
    ● Nondisjunction
    ● Duplication
    Gene Mutations
    Genetic mutations are changes to your DNA
    sequence that happen during cell division
    when your cells make copies of themselves.
    Your DNA tells your body how to form and
    function. Genetic mutations could lead to
    genetic conditions like cancer, or they could
    help humans better adapt to their environment
    over time.
