   [knot theory] In the mathematical field of knot theory, a mutation is an operation on a knot that can produce different knots. Suppose K is a knot given in the form of a knot diagram. Consider a disc D in the projection plane of the diagram whose boundary circle intersects K exactly four tim...

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.

    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.

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.

14. 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.

23. Mutation
    A change in a gene. Genes are really codes that tell a cell to make a particular protein. If a gene is mutated, the protein it makes will be abnormal. Mutation can also alter how a gene works by permanently switching it on or off.

    Mutation: A permanent change, a structural alteration, in the DNA or RNA. In humans and many other organisms, mutations occur in DNA. However, in retroviruses like HIV, mutations occur in RNA which is the genetic material of retroviruses. In most cases, such changes are neutral and have no effect or...
