Answer: Mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutation refers to the change in the genetic composition of a cell. Mutation ranges in size from a single DNA base to a large segment of a chromosome.

Mutations could be small scale like point mutation affecting bases OR large mutations like chromosomal translocation, chromosomal inversions affecting chromosomes
