Genetic mutations

Definition

noun

Changes in the nucleotide sequence of the genetic material (i.e. DNA, or RNA, in the case of viruses), which are usually caused by copying errors during replication that further lead to base substitution, insertion, or deletion of one or more base pairs.


Supplement

Genetic mutations may be triggered by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, chemical mutagens, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation.
