Generation

A point mutation is a change in a single nucleotide (DNA "letter") in your genetic code. Think of it like a typo in a recipe—changing one letter in a word might have no effect, create a harmless variation, or completely change the meaning. For example, if the DNA sequence CAT changes to CAC, it might code for a different amino acid, which could alter how the resulting protein functions. These mutations can be passed down to offspring if they occur in reproductive cells, or they might only affect certain body cells if they happen during a person's lifetime.
