Chromosomal Mutations
Chromosomal mutations refer to alterations in the structure or number of chromosomes in an organism's genetic material. These mutations can range from small changes in a single gene to large-scale rearrangements of entire chromosomes. Examples of chromosomal mutations include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. These mutations can have a variety of effects on an organism, including genetic disorders, developmental abnormalities, and increased risk of certain diseases.
