A mutation is a permanent change in the gene or chromosome of a cell that can result in altered characteristics or function. Mutations can arise spontaneously during cell division or in response to external factors such as radiation or chemicals. These changes can be inherited or occur randomly in somatic cells.
the bacterial cell reproduces the bacterial chromosome that the human gene codes for.
A chromosomal mutation is a change in the structure or number of a chromosome. This can involve rearrangements, deletions, duplications, or inversions of genetic material within a chromosome. These mutations can lead to genetic disorders or affect an individual's development and health.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
A chromosome inversion is a type of structural change in a chromosome where a segment of DNA is reversed in orientation. This can lead to disruptions in gene expression and potential issues during cell division. Inversions can be balanced or unbalanced, depending on whether there is a loss or gain of genetic material.
Chromosome 21 is the smallest human chromosome. Inside of the chromosome, there are 48 billion nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
Mutation
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
