Explanation:

• There are many reasons for mutations in the genomic sequence.

• Some of the mutations are inherited whereas others can arise due to the environment or mistake by the DNA polymerase enzymes.

• Mutations arise more frequently due to error of the DNA polymerase. Most of the times, these mutations are detected and repaired.

• Other times. these mutations might arise in the non- coding sequence of the DNA.
