Mutations can cause changes in DNA/RNA etc etc..

A mutation can cause the addition or subtraction of a base.. (A C G T or U) (addition or subtraction is extremely destructive, normally resulting in the destruction of the affected cell)

Or it can also Switch one base for another.. (a much less destructive mutation, sometimes not even changing anything)

:) hope that helps
