Explain how a mutation in an individual's DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individual's traits.
thanks dude i believe that peeps shouldn't cheat either so thanks for the sources
also almost forgot

My dad went to buy milk, I think the milk is out of stock.
um, My chemical romance?
*inhales*
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY MY FATHER TOOK ME INTO THE CITY TO SEE A MARCHING BAND!!!!!
Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "mutation of DNA" to get these possible sources:
https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=mutation+of+DNA&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

Don't just copy the material. Express the ideas in your own words. Although this will take more time and effort, you will learn more.
kk thank you
Thank you PsyDAG you helped me a lot.
ooh noo lmao I think hes with my dad getting milk
A mutation in an individual's DNA occurs when there is a change in the sequence of the DNA building blocks, which are called nucleotides. Nucleotides in DNA include four different bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). A mutation can happen when a nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide, deleted, or inserted into the DNA sequence.
There are several causes of mutations, including environmental factors (such as exposure to chemicals or radiation) and errors that occur during DNA replication. Mutations can also be inherited from parents if they have mutations in their DNA.
The effect of a mutation on an individual's traits depends on where the mutation occurs in the DNA and what type of mutation it is. There are three main types of mutations:
1. Silent mutation: This type of mutation does not result in any observable change in the individual's traits. It occurs when the mutation does not alter the amino acid sequence in the protein that is encoded by the gene. As a result, the protein functions normally.
2. Missense mutation: This type of mutation alters a single amino acid in the protein sequence encoded by the gene. It can lead to a change in the structure or function of the protein, which may affect the individual's traits. The effect can range from subtle changes to severe impacts, depending on the specific amino acid substitution and its position in the protein.
3. Nonsense mutation: This type of mutation occurs when a premature stop codon (a signal to end protein synthesis) is introduced in the DNA sequence. As a result, the protein is truncated and often non-functional. This can have significant effects on the individual's traits, depending on the importance of the protein in various cellular processes.
It's worth noting that not all mutations result in noticeable changes in an individual's traits. Some mutations can even be beneficial or have no effect at all. Additionally, mutations can occur in non-coding regions of DNA (regions that do not code for proteins), which may not have a direct impact on the individual's traits.
