Q28 - Mutations and the genetic basis of evolution
Pinned
The correct answer is C) Alterations in the genetic information of a cell.
A mutation is a change in the cell's genetic information, its DNA sequence. It can be a single base or a whole chunk of chromosome.
The other options describe things a mutation might cause (problems with division, enzymes, transport, metabolism), not what a mutation is.
