Best Answer

The substitution of one triplet code in the DNA that codes for an mRNA that codes for an amino acid that makes up a protein. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid substitution in a B chain of hemoglobin and you have an allele that will code for sickle cell trait.

What is the natural causes of mutations?

1.)Mutations can be inherited. This means if a parent has a mutation in his/her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to the child.2.)Mutations can be acquired. This happens when a mistake accurs when a cell copies its DNA.3.)Mutations can occur by a hidden gene. This happens when your ancestor(for example, "grandma") has the mutation and that mutation is passed on to every other girl(for example), then the girl will get the mutation.
