Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -A chromosomal mutation is a mutation involving a long segment of DNA. These mutations can involve deletions, insertions, inversions, or translocations of sections or segments of DNA. In some cases, deleted portions may attach to other chromosomes, disrupting both the chromosomes losing the DNA and the one gaining it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Not all genetic mutations lead to genetic disorders. Some genetic mutations don’t have any effect on your health and well-being. This is because the change in the DNA sequence doesn’t change how your cell functions.
