About this document

Module 6: Mutation and Biodiversity by kainaattufail111 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. Mutation introduces new alleles into a population through changes in DNA sequence. Point mutations involve a change to a single DNA base pair and can be substitutions, insertions, or deletions. Chromosomal mutations are changes involving larger sections of DNA and can include duplications, inversions, deletions, or translocations of chromosome segments. 2. Mutations are caused by mutagens like radiation, chemicals, and natural biological processes. Radiation can ionize DNA atoms and alter base pairing.
