What is the Role Mutation in Plant Breeding and Evolution?
Plant breeding aims at improving the crop quality but improving the heredity through the cross hybridization technique.

The gene is segment of DNA. A gene is chemically composed of nitrogen bases. (Nuclieotides.). The main function of a gene is to make one/ more proteins. The changes occurring in the sequence of nitrogen bases is called gene mutation. It is also called point mutation. It is of following types:
According to Hugo Dear Sirs, Vries (1884-1935) mutation is defined as any sudden and drastic change in gene which can be heritable but is not traceable or ascribable to segregation or recombination.
