The gene mutation
Biology
ScanSolve AI Answer
A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations can range in size from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes. Mutations can be inherited from one or both parents, or they can arise from errors in DNA replication or from environmental damage to DNA.
