DNA in genes codes for protein. The sequence of nucleotides on the gene determined the amino acid sequence of the protein. If there were to be a mutation that caused a change in the nucleotide sequence of the gene, the wrong protein would be produced.
If the wrong protein is one that is essential to life (like important hormones or developmental factors), this could cause an irreversible error in the development of the individual.
Mutations ultimately result in altering the physiology of the cell.

Could one day dogs mutate into human dogs?

Why is DNA a useful evolutionary clock?
As it will mutate over time.
Can plasmids mutate?
Yes. Mutations occur in all forms of DNA.
How did Motaba virus mutate?

A sentence for mutate?
I was tranfixed as I watched the man mutate into a werewolf.
Why does a single gene mutate?
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 does failure to remove introns from a primary mRNA most likely cause?
DNA to mutate.
What can mutate?
Mutations are the result of an error in the duplication process of DNA. These include insertion errors in DNA (base-pairing, dimers), DNA silencing, abnormal protein synthesis, and defective chromosomes.
Can Human DNA be positively identified as human without other information?
Yes. Human DNA is human DNA.
What makes werewolves specil?
That a human was able to mutate with a wolf to make a werewolf
