Step 1

Mutation is a change in the sequence of genetic material either due to the errors in DNA replication or due to the changes in the environment. Chromosomal mutations occur due to abnormality, aberrations, disorder or mutation in the segment of DNA leading to extra, irregular or missing portions of chromosomal DNA.
