Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic mutations are changes to your DNA sequence that happen during cell division when your cells make copies of themselves. Your DNA tells your body how to form and function. Genetic mutations could lead to genetic conditions like cancer, or they could help humans better adapt to their environment over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -A mutation refers to any change in the nucleotide sequences of DNA and RNA. How do mutations work? Because they can occur in both DNA and RNA, mutations lead to changes in protein structure and cell function.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA viruses have mutation rates between 10−6 to 10−8 mutations per base per generation, and RNA viruses have mutation rates between 10−3 to 10−5 per base per generation.
