Give one word for the following : (i) Phenomenon which results in alternation of DNA sequences of consequently results in changes in the genotype and the phenotype of an organism. (ii) Type of mutation that arise due to change in a single base pair of DNA.

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.
