Detailed explanation-1: -At the intermediate level, indels can affect parts of a gene or whole groups of genes. At the largest level, whole chromosomes or even whole copies of the genome can be affected by insertions or deletions, although such mutations are usually no longer subsumed under the label indel.

Detailed explanation-2: -It includes your DNA, genes and chromosomes. Several factors cause genetic conditions, including: Mutation of one gene (monogenic). Mutation of multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance).

Detailed explanation-3: -A muta-tion can happen during replication and affect a single gene. A mutation can also happen during meiosis and affect a whole chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. 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.
