Genome and Chromosome Mutations Balance Between Appearance and Elimination

  • Chapter
Issues and Reviews in Teratology

Abstract

The term “mutation” was introduced by de Vries (1901) in describing a sudden and genetically stable change occurring in a plant (Oenothera lamarckiana) that was related to a particular chromosome rearrangement.
