Answer:

When a gene mutation occurs, the nucleotides are in the wrong order which means the coded instructions are wrong and faulty proteins are made or control switches are changed. The body can't function as it should. Mutations can be inherited from one or both parents. They are present in the egg and/ or sperm cells.
