What Is Point Mutation

Provides a quick introduction of point mutation, which is a gene mutation that changes a single nucleotide base pair of DNA or RNA.

What Is Point Mutation? - A point mutation, also called base-pair substitution, is a gene mutation that changes a single nucleotide base pair of DNA or RNA.

Point mutations can be categorized based on the impact on protein expression.
