  1. genetic mutation

    A genetic mutation is a permanent alteration or change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. These changes can be caused naturally by errors in DNA replication or repair, or induced by external factors such as exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, or viruses. Mutations can lead to variations in the genetic information, sometimes causing diseases or disorders, or they could have no impact at all, or even potentially beneficial effects on an organism's survival and evolution.
