Genes as a Unit of Mutation (Muton)

The gene has also been defined from the point of view of mutation. The shortest chromosomal unit capable of undergoing mutation has been called the Muton.

The muton consists of one or many pairs of nucleotides within the DNA molecule. In many cases a gene mutation is a change in a single nucleotide unit of DNA.
