| Abstract | ||
| Mutations are genetic sequence changes, and they are the principal cause of organism diversity. These changes occur at many different levels and can have far-reaching different consequences. These alterations occur due to genetic or epigenetic factors. These changes possibly cause phenotypic change in human which develop a disorder or evolution. Notably, our genetics can repair undesirable mutations during replication in most of the time. The types of mutations will be reviewed and discussed in this report. | ||
