Why do chromosome mutations occur most often during nuclear divisions?
Chromosome mutations occur during nuclear division because when the sequence of nucleotides are being placed substitutions, and frameshifts can occur, causing mutations. Substitution is when one nucleotide replaces another and frameshift mutation is when a nucleotide deletes, causing codons to be incorrectly read.
What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
4 chromosome mutations?
They include: trans-location, deletion, duplication and inversion. A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome.
How are chromosomal mutations different than DNA mutations?
a gene mutation can be acquired throughout life or it is genetic ex sickle cell anemia chromsome mutations have more pronounced effects and are due to a change in the number of chromosomes or a change in the structural effect that are inherited.. ex downs syndrom
Whats a change in gene or chromosome?
A change in a gene or chromosome is called a: Mutation

How do chromosome mutations affect an individual?
Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.

Would all mutations to DNA happen to a gene?
all mutations in terms of DNA happen in a gene. here it has to be noted that a gene is made up of two strands of nucleotides which are made up of amino acids. when mutations occur the sequence of nucleotides may change. sometimes a nucleotide may become missing hence the sequence of the strands change. mutations can be harmful but also very beneficial.
Can mutations be passed from parents to offspring?
You can probably get a better idea from Wikipedia's article on Mutations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
