What are the similarities between gene mutation and chromosome mutation?

Posted January 16, 2023


Answer

Gene mutation and chromosome mutation are two types of mutations that occur in the genome of an organism. In both types of mutations, changes occur in the nucleotide of the DNA sequence, resulting in alterations in gene expression, which can lead to different genetic diseases.
