[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1486064, member: 27490"] WalnutCrest Over the course of an organism's phylogenetic history, mutations occur. They accumulate and are integrated into the genome of the species. The changes in the genome that result from mutations - which is a continuing process in the evolutionary history of every species - at some point are no longer called "mutations". It is simply an integral part of the genome. My point is : the genetic code of a species over its evolutionary history is a reflection of an accumulation of mutations. My question is why are you continuing to refer to the Disruptive and Missence Variants you listed as "mutations"? PS: I am not implying that it is wrong to continue to call these variants mutations! I am simply wondering at what point you drop the term mutation if it is now established in the genome. Obviously, we can both start with the premise that the variants originated as mutations. Thanks.
