Gene mutations are alterations in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in the structure and function of proteins, potentially causing genetic disorders or contributing to evolutionary processes. These mutations can be inherited or acquired and vary in their impact, from benign to harmful, depending on their nature and location within the genome.
