A single gene will mutate when DNA replication did not occur properly. It means that when replicating, the DNA only slipped up on a single gene when copying, causing a mutation. Mutations are accidental and are not done on purpose.

WHAT is single gene trait?

What is the difference between single-gene traits and complex traits?
Single gene diseases only effect one typeof gene where im a complex genetic disease many genes are effected. An example of a single gene diseas is sickle cell anemia. Cancer would be an eexample of a complex gene disease.

A sentence for mutate?
