Understanding DNA Mutations and Their Types

DNA mutations are changes in the DNA molecule that can lead to permanent alterations in the base sequence of daughter DNA. Causes include uncorrected errors, as well as damage from oxidative deamination, radiation, and chemicals. The types of mutations include point mutations, insertion mutations, deletion mutations, frameshift mutations, and lethal mutations. Explore the complexities of DNA mutations in this informative content.
