Best Answer

A change in a nucleotide base sequence is known as a point mutation, this is when one of the bases(A,T,C,G) is swapped with another. This causes for the amino acid to change, which can change the function of the amino acid chain.

What is genetic stability?

Genetic stability is defined as "a measure of the resistance to change of the sequence of genes within a DNA molecule." It also refers to this resistance of the nucleotide sequence within a gene.
