👉 Mutating, in the context of biology and genetics, refers to a process by which genetic material is changed or altered. This can occur through various mechanisms such as DNA replication, transfection, gene expression, protein synthesis, and other cellular processes. In simple terms, "mutating" refers to making changes to or altering the genes that control the production of proteins in an organism's cells. This could involve changing a single amino acid, adding or removing a nucleotide, turning off a gene altogether
