Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same: Mutation is sudden, discontinuous variation in genotype of an organism due to a change in its chromosomes and genes. Variation in DNA is a result of mutation. It is of three types : Gene mutation, chromosomal aberrations and gametic mutation. Gametic mutation is a change in chromosome number that brings effect on the phenotype, it is of two type - aneuploidy and euploidy. Mutation can be artificially produced by certain agents called mutagen. There are two major types of mutagens: physical and chemical mutagen. Which is the main category of mutation ?
