What is mutation?

  • A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
  • Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or they can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.
  • Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens, or a viral infection.
  • Mutation plays an important role in evolution. The ultimate source of all genetic variation is mutation. The mutation is important as the first step of evolution because it creates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, creating a new allele.
