A genetic mutation occurs due to a change in a single nucleotide base, either inserted or deleted from the genetic material (DNA or RNA) sequence, which represents the mutation called a point mutation.
It can take place by the substitution of the single nucleotide sequence in DNA or RNA in the genome of the organism, it is also known as substitution mutation.
Sickle cell anemia is an example of the point mutation that takes place due to a change in a single nucleotide sequence.
A nerve produces a response on the opposite side from where it is coming then the response is called contralateral and if the nerve produces a response on the same side from where the nerve is coming then the response is called as ipsilateral.
A theory. Theories explain a phenomnon while laws state a phenomenon but do not explain them. Ex: Theory of evolution by Darwin explains how evolution works, while the law of thermodynamics states what occurs, but offers no interpreation of its meaning.
