Point mutation- change in one or a few nucleotides (letters). The sequence of bases in DNA are like the letters of a coded message or even the letters of a simple alphabet. . If we change the sequence of the letters do we change the nature of the message?. That . Understand how they occur. Analyze the different types of mutations.
