“All genetic mutations are detrimental and are harmful to the organism.” Discuss with examples Mutations are random changes to the genetic material; this could either be a chromosome mutation which involves changes in the whole or part of the chromosome or DNA mutations which is where the changes are to the nucleotide base sequences. The ‘change’ to DNA is either a base deletion‚ substitution‚ addition or by inversion or repetition of a triplet. Many cases of genetic mutations can be very harmful
