Radiation induced mutation (changes in DNA) is on a purely random basis
(and so is ALMOST always detrimental).
A change in the DNA of a gene is a mutation.
A mutation.
A change in the sequence of bases in DNA caused by exposure to x-rays is an example of a mutation. Mutations are alterations in the DNA sequence that can have various effects on an organism's traits or phenotype. In this specific case, x-rays can cause genetic mutations by damaging the DNA structure.
A mutation
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
A change in DNA is known as a mutation, which is a alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutations can be caused by various factors such as errors in DNA replication, exposure to radiation or chemicals, and environmental factors. Mutations can have positive, negative, or neutral effects on an organism's traits and evolution.

UV rays. These cause thymine to form dimers in skin cell DNA.
Mutations not only change the DNA, but a change to the DNA will change the mRNA. This explains why a mutation in one generation can be passed on to the next generation.
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.
