A mutation in humans is caused by a misconnection of DNA chromosomes and cells. Not all mutations are genetics some are just a fluke with the DNA match up.

Where do most mutations occur, and are they primarily random in nature?

Most mutations occur in the DNA of an organism, specifically in the genes. Mutations are primarily random in nature, meaning they can happen spontaneously and are not typically influenced by external factors.


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.

It doesnt form anything. What it does is increase your chance of getting mutations within your DNA. And if enough mutations are aquired, then cancer can happen.


What is spontaneous and induced mutations?

Spontaneous mutations occur naturally due to errors in DNA replication, exposure to mutagens, or changes in cellular processes. Induced mutations are deliberately caused by exposure to external factors such as radiation, chemicals, or certain drugs to study the effects of specific genetic changes.
