A mutation can be defined as a change in the genetic material, particularly in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It can occur due to errors during DNA replication, exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, or as a result of external factors such as viruses. Mutations can range from small changes in a single nucleotide (point mutation) to large structural alterations in DNA. These changes can result in the production of different proteins or the absence of functional proteins, leading to potential genetic disorders or diseases. Mutations are a fundamental aspect of evolutionary biology as they provide the genetic variation necessary for natural selection to occur.
