In the study of biology, we define a mutation as a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism. In general, these mutations can be quite harmful to the creature it has an effect on, with cancer itself being a direct result of mutation. That said, it’s also responsible for evolution, so it has its ebbs and flows. What can you tell us about mutation? Let’s find out.
