Examples of 'point mutations' in a sentence

Meaning of "point mutations"

Point mutations are genetic alterations or changes that occur at specific locations (points) within the DNA sequence of an organism. These mutations can involve the substitution, insertion, or deletion of a single nucleotide base in the DNA, resulting in a modification of the genetic code. Point mutations can lead to variations in traits, diseases, or evolutionary changes in organisms
