Answer:

phenotypic changes to the organism

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes and may be due to an error during DNA duplication or environmental factors such as radioactivity, UV rays, certain chemicals, among others. Mutation is a rare event that can be either neutral, harmful or beneficial to a living being, however all have changes in the body. Mutations are classified as gene and chromosomal.

Unlike gene mutations, in chromosomal mutations, changes occur in whole parts of chromosomes, modifying the gene sequence of a chromosome, called structural changes or even the number of chromosomes, which are numerical changes. These mutations may influence phenotypic changes in the body and the emergence of some abnormalities, such as Klinefelter syndrome and Patau syndrome.
