APPLICATION:

====Mutations happening within the genes frequently cause incurable and potentially deadly diseases. These occur due to exposure to harmful chemicals or ionizing radiation. Watch this video to know some diseases caused by a gene mutation.

====On the other hand, not all mutations are harmful. Some rare mutations lead to the creation of new traits in an organism that can make it more adapted or suited to live and reproduce in its environment. Mutation is one of the drivers of the evolution of species.
