Answer
Mutagenesis, as pioneered by Muller, refers to the process by which the DNA sequence of an organism changes, altering the genetic material. These changes can be induced by various factors such as radiation or chemicals, or can occur naturally through errors during DNA replication. Understanding the mechanisms and effects of mutagenesis is crucial for studying genetic diversity, genetic diseases, and the process of evolution.
