RafaA gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence of a gene. This can result in changes to the protein encoded by that gene, potentially leading to new traits or diseases. Mutations can occur spontaneously or be caused by external factors like radiation or chemicals.

Is gene mutation and mutation is same?
Yes, gene mutation and mutation are often used interchangeably in biological contexts. Gene mutation specifically refers to a change in the sequence of DNA in a particular gene, whereas mutation can refer to changes in DNA sequences more broadly, including those not within a specific gene.
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?

What is a mutation in a gene?
A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome.
