👉 Remutation is a process in molecular biology where an individual nucleotide (a base) of a DNA molecule has been replaced by another nucleotide, resulting in a new genetic code. This modification can be due to a mutation or a translocation event. Remutations are important because they allow for the evolution and adaptation of genes over time. They enable the insertion or deletion of single nucleotides in a gene, leading to changes that can lead to beneficial traits such as resistance to disease or enhanced fitness
