Mutation is one or multiple alterations in the structure of the DNA, i.e in the sequence of nucleotides that composes it. It can be produced by a variety of different things, being UV rays one of them. Many mutations or one mutation in a big portion of the DNA can cause disorders because it changes the way the DNA will be (in the final instance) translated to proteins.
