General characteristics of mutation
Its generally recessive in nature .
Most of the mutation are harmful.
It’s a random process.
It is a non directional process.
Its non adaptive phenomena.
It’s a recurrent process.
Role of mutation
Responsible for formation of an allele.
Ultimate sources of variation .
Act as a raw material for evolution.
It allow individual to adaptability to change
in environmental condition.
MUTATIONS CAN OCCUR IN TWO WAYS
Spontaneous mutation
Induced mutation
Transition Deletion
Addition
Frameshift mutation
Spontaneous lesionReplication error
Point mutation
Transversion
Depurination
Deamination

1.Somatic mutations.
2.Germinal mutations.
3.Hereditary mutations.
4.Acquired mutation.
5.Silent mutation.
6.Neutral mutation.
