To explain:
The term “genetic instability”.
Introduction:
Mutation is a change in the sequence of genetic material either due to the errors in
To determine:
Some ways in which genomic instability may arise.
Introduction:
Defects in the repair mechanism of DNA may also contribute to chromosomal rearrangement and genetic instability. Many repair system of DNA makes double and single-strand breaks in the DNA as a part of the mechanism. If these breaks are not repaired properly with time then they often result in a rearrangement of chromosomes and condition of genetic instability.
