Expert Solution
Step 1

The mutation is a permanent alteration in the nucleotide sequence of DNA molecules. The mutation occurs at the time of DNA replication. It can occur naturally or induced by certain mutagens. Mutation results in the alteration of the amino acid sequence that leads to changes in some biochemical processes within the organism's body. Any form of radiation or chemical compound that can cause mutation in the DNA is considered a mutagen.
