  6. Mutation
    A mutation is basically a 'typo' that can sometimes occur when cells replicate themselves. Some factors such as certain chemicals, as well as radiation, can cause more mutations than usual to occur.

    Any change in a plant which will lead to a new feature. Fortunately or unfortunately, this can be inherited.

  8. Mutation
    A random change in any portion of genetic material. For a genetic algorithm, this means that a value in a bit string is randomly set.

  9. Mutation
    An alteration in DNA structure or sequence of a gene. (See Point mutation.)

  10. mutation
    A stable, heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of a genetic nucleic acid (DNA, or RNA in viruses, viroids, etc) typically resulting in the generation of a new allele and a new phenotype.

  11. mutation
    Sudden random change in genetic material that may cause that cell and all cells derived from it to look or behave differently.

  12. Mutation
    A suddenly occurring heritable change in DNA. Such mutations may be brought about by chemical or physical agents (mutagens) e.g. U.V. radiation. An abrupt appearance of a new characteristic in an individual as a result of an accidental change in genes or chromosomes.

  1. mutation
    (Variation and inheritance) an error in DNA replication which results in a change in an organism's genetic blueprint. Some mutations are random, others are caused by environmental factors

  2. Mutation
    a change in the order of nucleotide bases on a gene, which alters the configuration of the protein produced, and thus may alter the behaviour of the cell. A mutation may cause a cell to die, or become cancerous. Mutations in bacteria and viruses help them to evade detection by their hosts.
