A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a large segment of a chromosome.
A chromosomal mutation is a mutation involving a long segment of DNA, it is a any change in the structure or arrangement of the chromosomes. These mutations can involve deletions, insertions, or inversions of sections of DNA. In some cases, deleted sections may attach to other chromosomes, disrupting both the chromosomes that loses the DNA and the one that gains it.It is also referred to as a chromosomal rearrangement
The differences between Gene mutation and Chromosome mutation are ;
1- Chromosome mutations involve changes in the structure of a chromosome OR the loss or gain of a chromosome while Gene mutations involve a change in the nucleotide -base sequence of a gene on a DNA molecule.
2- Chromosomal mutations are changes in the structure or the numbers of chromosomes (a gain or loss).
Gene mutations involve changes in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule.
3-A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a large segment of a chromosome while a chromosomal mutation is a mutation involving a long segment of DNA, it is a any change in the structure or arrangement of the chromosomes. These mutations can involve deletions, insertions, or inversions of sections of DNA. In some cases, deleted sections may attach to other chromosomes, disrupting both the chromosomes that loses the DNA and the one that gains it.It is also referred to as a chromosomal rearrangement
4-gene mutation is just a substitute in any old random nucleotide for any old random nucleotide
chromosome mutation is missing of chromosome or +1 chromosome (down's syndrome).

Is cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?
It is caused by a gene mutation in the single gene on chromosome 7 that produces a protein known as CFTR.
What is a chromosomal mutation?
mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene and can alter the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene..
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
Is usher syndrome a gene or chromosomal?
Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation. The gene is not carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y).
Is breast cancer chromosomal mutation or gene mutation?
First of all, chromosomal mutations are gene mutations. Chromosomes can be thought of as lists of instructions for your cells to build life essential proteins and other basic functions. A chromosomal mutation occurs when a portion of a chromosome is changed in some way. A portion may be removed, flipped, or part of another chromosome may be inserted. In many cases this will have no effect on cell function, as the mutation occurred in an ignored portion of the chromosome. In most cases where the mutation occurs in an important portion of the chromosome, the cell simply dies. Cancer occurs when the mutation, instead of killing the cell, causes the cell to multiply, and consume body resources more faster than normal cells, overwhelming them.

Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.

mutation is an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene whereas variation is any difference between individuals of a particular species.
