Genetic Mutation

A gene mutation is a permanent change in the genetic material of an organism. Gene mutations can occur either before birth or after birth. A person who _______ a genetic mutation from a parent will have it throughout his or her entire life. However, a person who acquires a mutation will do so at some point during his or her life. Acquired mutations can be caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or radiation. This type of mutation cannot be passed on from generation to generation.
