Genetic Mutations and its Phenomenon

This set of MCQs is about Genetic mutations (permanent changes in one or more specific genes) which can cause diseases. If a person inherits a genetic mutation that causes a certain disease, then he or she will usually get the disease. Sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and some cases of early-onset Alzheimer's disease are examples of inherited genetic disorders.
