Answer:

c. A chromosomal mutation can change the total number of chromosomes in the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gene mutation affects a single gene, and replication error is the main cause of gene mutation. A chromosomal mutation affects one part of chromosome or full chromosome. error in meiosis is the main cause of chromosomal mutation. Both mutations are responsible for a change in DNA. A chromosomal mutation leads to the change in total number of chromosomes in the cell.
