Understanding Genetic Mutations: Types and Effects

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.
