Mutations are the changes that take place in the genes of any organism. Genes are those portions of chromosomes that code a functional protein. All the proteins, traits, features and factors that are present in an organism are a result of genes present in an organism. Mutations in these genes make them non-functional or cause the genes to make a defective protein that finally and mostly are harmful and deleterious for that organism in which mutation take place.
