Only a single codon in the gene sequence is changed in base substitution mutation.
This process, called mutation, is part of what determines changes in the characteristics of populations across multiple generations.

DNA Is Constantly Changing through the Process of Mutation
Mutations can be grouped into two main categories based on where they occur: somatic mutations and germ-line mutations. Somatic mutations take place in non-reproductive cells. Many kinds of ...

Mutation Linked to Difference Between Human and Neanderthal Brains
The research, published yesterday (September 8) in Science, finds that the modern human and the archaic Neanderthal versions of the gene that codes for the protein transketolase-like 1 (TKTL1) differ ...

Secondary structure of the SARS-CoV-2 genome is predictive of nucleotide substitution frequency
SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.
