How does a mutation occur in DNA?
Mutations in DNA sequences generally occur through one of two processes: 1. DNA damage from environmental agents such as ultraviolet light (sunshine), nuclear radiation or certain chemicals 2. Mistakes that occur when a cell copies its DNA in preparation for cell division. Thanks!

About DNA
DNA is the source of our genetic material, and plays a central role in transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
About Cell Division
All organisms are made of cells and come from cells that already exist. Cells make more cells by dividing through the process of mitosis.
