Mutations - Grace Moore

What a mutation is

A mutation is when a DNA gene is damaged or altered in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene. 

Though when dealing with genetics there are no normal, mutations often some u physically in the form of what is not seen as normal or common, like having an extra finger.  

A mutation is either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
