Answer:

A point mutation is a mutation that is caused by a change in a single base pair in a gene sequence. It affects only one or a few base pairs or sequences by insertion, duplication, deletion, or translocation.

This type of mutation leads to the protein created by the gene if one part of the protein is removed or added. It can affect the protein and leads to several diseased cases or synfroms.
