Geenimutaatioilla
Geenimutaatioilla, known in English as gene mutations, are alterations in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism. These changes can occur spontaneously during DNA replication or be induced by environmental factors such as radiation or certain chemicals. Mutations can range from small changes affecting a single DNA base, known as point mutations, to larger alterations involving segments of chromosomes.
The impact of a gene mutation varies greatly. Some mutations have no observable effect on the organism,
Mutations can occur in somatic cells, which are body cells and are not passed on to offspring,
