ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Genetic mutation refers to changes that occur in the DNA sequence of an organism's genes. These changes can arise spontaneously during the process of DNA replication or as a result of exposure to mutagenic agents such as radiation or certain chemicals. Genetic mutations can involve alterations, insertions, or deletions of nucleotides in the DNA sequence, leading to changes in the genetic information.
