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).
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is a chromosomal mutation?
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.
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 cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?
Cystic fibrosis is primarily caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is located on chromosome 7. These mutations can result in a defective or non-functioning CFTR protein, leading to the characteristic symptoms of the disease.
Is breast cancer chromosomal mutation or gene mutation?
Breast cancer can be caused by a combination of chromosomal mutations and gene mutations. Chromosomal mutations involve changes to the structure or number of chromosomes, while gene mutations affect specific genes that regulate cell growth and division. These mutations can disrupt normal cell functions and lead to the development of breast cancer.

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