Detailed explanation-1: -Harmful mutations may cause genetic disorders or cancer. A genetic disorder is a disease caused by a mutation in one or a few genes. A human example is cystic fibrosis. A mutation in a single gene causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and blocks ducts in digestive organs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cancers are caused by damage to the DNA in your cells. These changes are called “gene mutations.” Gene mutations can build up in cells in your body over time. Cells with too many mutations may stop working normally, grow out of control and become cancerous.
Detailed explanation-3: -Acquired mutations. These are the most common cause of cancer. They occur from damage to genes in a particular cell during a person’s life.
