DNA mutations can have various effects on cells, including:
Loss of function: Mutations that inactivate a gene, leading to the loss of the gene's normal function. Gain of function: Mutations that create a new or enhanced function for a gene. Silent mutations: Mutations that do not alter the function of a gene.
The effects of these mutations can be observed in histological samples, where changes in cell morphology, tissue architecture, and cellular interactions may be evident.
