Mutation
The definition of mutation in evolution terms is a change in DNA. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves and so on. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life. Mutations are important to our ever changing world and without it evolution would not of occurred and most species if not all species would of been wiped out.
Some potential causes of mutations could be really good or really bad. They have a bad name in society and what is said is true and genetic diseases can be the fault of mutations but at the same time mutations could have a positive effect and make your species better
There are two types of mutations called are chromosomal mutation and genetic mutation.
Chromosomal: Chromosomal mutation is when the a single or more chromosome/s from parents can be deleted or replaced somewhere else and when the offspring is developed can be different and 'mutated' the most common example is down syndrome.
Genetic Mutation: A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up the gene. Genetic mutations range in size from a single DNA building block to a large segment of a gene.
