Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Change in the DNA sequence or structure of the genome is termed as mutation. Errors during replication and environmental factors can cause mutation. Usually DNA repair mechanism corrects the changes in the

a type of fungus to be the cause. What should she do to
demonstrate a link between the suspected pathogen and
the disease?
