👉 Minutation is a genetic mutation that changes the amino acid sequence of DNA. It occurs when an individual's sperm or egg cells divide during fertilization, leading to a new set of chromosomes with altered genetic material.
In humans, minutation can occur in two main ways:
1.
Random mutagenesis
: This occurs when different types of mutations are randomly introduced into the genome by random chance during DNA replication. It is common in populations where there is a high rate of mutation and random mutation events
