If a mutation is present in a gamete, then the mutation will enter the population's gene pool. Once it is in the gene pool, natural selection and genetic drift will influence the frequency that the mutation appears in the population.
A genetic mutation within the population.
mutations
Yes, gene mutation and mutation are often used interchangeably in biological contexts. Gene mutation specifically refers to a change in the sequence of DNA in a particular gene, whereas mutation can refer to changes in DNA sequences more broadly, including those not within a specific gene.

A genetic mutation within the population.
A mutation
A change in the DNA of a gene is a mutation.
A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.
mutations
no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
A mutation
A Mutation
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
in gene pool, it comes from a random mutation
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
