Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Mutations happen in the DNA which is a nucleic acid, and this molecule is transcribed into m-RNA which will be based on the sequence of the nucleotides in the DNA, so also m-RNA is affected and it is also a nucleotide.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is a dynamic and adaptable molecule. As such, the nucleotide sequences found within it are subject to change as the result of a phenomenon called mutation.
Detailed explanation-3: -When do genetic mutations happen? Genetic mutations occur during cell division when your cells divide and replicate. There are two types of cell division: Mitosis: The process of making new cells for your body.
