A mutation is a change from the expected nucleotide sequence of DNA. It can happen when nucleotide bases are duplicated or deleted from the sequence.
Mutations that occur at one single nitrogen base are referred to as a point mutation.
Mutations which do not occur in sex cells are not passed on to the next generation. The mutation will only affect the individual. They could therefore have normal offspring.
For a mutation to affect evolution, it must occur in the DNA of reproductive cells (sperm or egg cells) so that it can be passed on to offspring. Mutations that occur in somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) do not directly impact evolution as they are not inherited by future generations.
the mutation may occur in a non-coding region of the gene, resulting in no change to the protein produced. Additionally, the mutation may be silent, meaning it does not alter the amino acid sequence of the protein. In some cases, the organism may have redundant genes that compensate for the mutation, allowing it to function normally.
Yes, if an enzyme necessary for polypeptide production is absent, the process may be disrupted. This could potentially lead to errors in translation, such as misincorporation of incorrect amino acids, which can result in a mutation in the polypeptide sequence.

Such mutations are called point mutation or gene mutation.

Mutations are able to be inherited if they occur in your mother or father's sex cells. This is known as a germline mutation.
Mutations that occur at one single nitrogen base are referred to as a point mutation.
