3.30 Mutation


3.30 recall that mutation is a rare, random change in genetic material that can be inherited

Rare, random changes in the base sequence of a gene that can be inherited.

Mutations change the base sequences in genes to form new alleles (i.e. ACT…  to AAT…)
This is why we have allele variation… because of mutation, new allele
è new protein è new phenotype
