Cell Mutation
Cell mutation refers to the process in which a cell's genetic material is altered or changed, leading to variations in its normal structure and function. These mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced by external factors such as exposure to radiation, chemicals, or viruses. Mutated cells may exhibit abnormal growth patterns, uncontrolled division, and potential to develop into cancerous tumors. Understanding and studying cell mutations is crucial in the fields of genetics, oncology, and molecular biology to develop treatments and therapies for genetic disorders and diseases.
