Missene mutations ill have an effect on the protein produced by the gene in which the mutation occurs.
A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or viral infection. There are three types of DNA mutations: base substitutions, deletions and insertions. Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be.
A harmful mutation can cause genetic disorders or even cancer. Another type of mutation is a chromosomal mutation. Located in the nucleus of a cell, chromosomes are small thread-like structures that carry genes. Mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or viral infection. Germline mutations (occurring in eggs and sperm) can be passed on to offspring, but somatic mutations (occurring in body cells) cannot.
