Detailed explanation-1: -Are genetic mutations bad? 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even cancer. Another kind of mutation is a chromosomal mutation. Chromosomes, located in the cell nucleus, are tiny threadlike structures that carry genes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most gene mutations have no effect on health. And the body can repair many mutations. Some mutations are even helpful. For example, people can have a mutation that protects them from heart disease or gives them harder bones.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is well-known that most mutations arise spontaneously and they are, in general, either harmful or neutral. However, only a rare few are advantageous to the organism, as they increase its viability and reproductive ability (Darwinian fitness).
