​​Topic 2: Different Genetic Damages or Mutations

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Know different types of genetic damages or mutations.
  • Know how different mutations resulted in the cells by mutagens. 
​​Do you know how many mutations or damages are possible by mutagens in the cells?

Mutations can be:
  • Microlesions (gene mutation)
  • Macro lesions  (Chromosomal mutation)
