Mutaatiovauhti
Mutaatiovauhti, a Finnish term translating to "mutation rate," refers to the frequency at which changes, or mutations, occur in the DNA sequence of an organism. This rate is a fundamental concept in genetics and evolutionary biology. It is typically expressed as the number of mutations per nucleotide per generation or per year.
The mutation rate can vary significantly between different species, and even within different regions of the
Understanding mutation rates is crucial for several reasons. In evolutionary studies, higher mutation rates can accelerate
Scientists measure mutation rates through various experimental and observational methods. These can involve tracking the inheritance
