The word mutation may make you think of Ninja Turtles, but that's a misrepresentation of how most mutations work. First of all, everyone has mutations. In fact, most people have dozens or even hundreds of mutations in their DNA. Secondly, from an evolutionary perspective, mutations are essential. They are needed for evolution to occur because they are the ultimate source of all new genetic variation in any species.

It covers types and causes of DNA mutations, mechanisms of DNA damage, and major DNA repair pathways, including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair, and double-strand break repair. The text also discusses the biological consequences of mutations and the importance of DNA repair in preventing diseases like cancer.

De novo mutations may explain genetic disorders in which an affected child has a mutation in every cell in the body but the parents do not, and there is no family history of the disorder. These genetic changes are not present in a parent’s egg or sperm cells, or in the fertilized egg, but happen a bit later when the embryo includes several cells.
