Microbial mutation refers to the spontaneous changes in the genetic material of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These mutations can lead to variations in traits like antibiotic resistance, pathogenicity, or metabolic capabilities, impacting their survival and adaptation in different environments.

What does codon mutation mean?

A codon mutation refers to a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a codon, which is a three-nucleotide segment of DNA or RNA that codes for a specific amino acid. This mutation can lead to various outcomes, such as a silent mutation (no change in the amino acid), a missense mutation (change in one amino acid), or a nonsense mutation (premature stop codon). The effects of codon mutations on protein function can vary significantly, potentially leading to diseases or altered traits.
