mutatsioonis
Mutatsioonis is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily in the context of genetics and biology. In its most common usage, "mutatsioonis" signifies the process of mutation, which is a permanent alteration in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. These changes can occur spontaneously during DNA replication or be induced by external factors called mutagens. Mutations can range in size from a single DNA base pair to a large segment of a chromosome.
Mutations are the ultimate source of all genetic variation, providing the raw material for evolution. While
In some contexts, "mutatsioonis" might also be used more broadly to describe a deviation from the normal
