-Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.

-Mutations happen for several reasons which includes; failure of DNA to copy accurately, external influences or factors such as specific chemicals and radiations.
