Inherited mutations can be classified into several types:
Point mutations: Changes in a single nucleotide base pair. Insertions: Addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into the DNA sequence. Deletions: Removal of one or more nucleotide base pairs from the DNA sequence. Copy number variations: Changes in the number of copies of a particular gene. Chromosomal rearrangements: Structural changes in chromosomes such as translocations, inversions, and duplications.
