A mutation.
Gene transfer is a naturally occurring phenomena wherein there is a transfer of genetic material from the donor to the recipient. Conjugation would be an example
Both. Viruses are naturally occurring organisms that have been around "forever". They have the ability to mutate or change themselves into new shapes and types sometimes using genetic material from more than one kind of virus, which would make them naturally occurring hybrids. They were not man-made.
Munchkin cats shed fur but only on a minimal level. Munchkin cats have abnormally short legs because of a naturally occurring genetic mutation.
It is a genetic flaw or mutation. Snakes do not naturally have 2 heads

Genetic mapping is mapping genes to a specific location on a chromosome. therefore the purpose is that it helps to tell where on the chromosome a mutation is. For example if scientists find were on a chromosome a gene for a certain mutation, they can conduct gene therapy to replace it with a normal version of that gene. Basically it just tells scientists the location of a mutation so they can fix it more efficiently.
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
If you think you have a large genetic mutation, consult your doctor.
it is a mutation
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
Not naturally, no. However there are some rare genetic mutations that can cause abnormal muscle growth. Check out Wendy, a Whippet with such a mutation.
