It could be Insertion, which means, an addition of extra DNA or RNA into a section of genetic material. Also, it could be Deletion, which means, a loss or absence of a section from nucleic acid molecules or chromosomes.
In other words for a quicker response is, Extra Chromosomes or Loss of Chromosomes can cause DNA mutations.

∙ 13y agoIt can only be caused when the baby is still inside of its mother or while it is inside its egg or whatever it is in before initial birth. Some people believe in the science-fiction way of DNA altering which is also true but not to the extent of, "Hey Stan, I got freakin' super powers." Possibly to the point where you could attain a new genetic disease, but that's about it.

What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
Advantages of DNA replicating exactly?
If DNA does not exactly replicate, the next cell will not behave correctly. This causes mutation - cancer, for example.
What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
A change in a sequence of DNA is called?
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA What type of Mutation is this-?
Frameshift mutation
What causes mutation in cells?
DNA polymerase
What are the causes of mutation?
Mutation is caused when chunks of chromosomes cut taken or fall off. So the chromosome with the DNA causes a mutation which sometimes is helpful but mosty hard to live with.
What mutation causes the DNA replication to stop early?
Nonsense
How do mutations occur in an organism?
In the base sequence of the DNA part of the DNA changes which causes a change in the whole DNA which is called a mutation.
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
Mutation that occurs when a single base is added or deleted from DNA causes a shift in the reading of codons by one base?
Frameshift Mutation
What are the disadvantages of radio activity to humans'?
Radioactivity causes the destruction (mutation) of DNA in our cells, when these cells multiply they contain the mutated DNA which causes irregularities and cancer.
A change in DNA is?
A change in an organism's DNA is called mutation.
What are changes in the bases of DNA?
When a base pair is added or deleted in a DNA sequence it's called an insertion or a deletion, which causes a frameshift mutation.
Advantages of DNA replicating exactly?
If DNA does not exactly replicate, the next cell will not behave correctly. This causes mutation - cancer, for example.
A genetic mutation causes a temporary change to the sequences of bases in DNA true or false?
true
What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
