Although a healthy human being is devoid of any harmful mutations, these can occur in humans.
In cancer for example, cells develop mutations that allow them to grow in abnormal numbers, resulting in the formation of a tumor.
To summarize, the human genome is capable of undergoing mutations in certain circumstances such as during diseases. However, the incidence of a harmful mutation in a healthy individual is quite uncommon

When was Human Mutation created?
Hazardous Mutation was created on 2005-09-20.
What can predict whether a mutation in a human skin cell can be passed to its offspring?
A mutation in a human skin cannot be passed on to an offspring, since it is only a somatic mutation which is acquired. The mutation that can be passed on to an offspring is called a germline mutation, which happens in the egg and sperm.
What are Symptoms of the human mutation and effects?
The curious thing about any type of genetic mutation is that it can change anything in any place on the affected chromosome. Most genetic mutations have no affect on the phenotype. In some extreme cases though (i.e. LOTS of radiation) offspring are known to have extensive genetic mutation.
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
The permanent change in a gene or a chromosome is called Mutation.
A change in a sequence of DNA is called?
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.

Where does the replication of mutated genes occur in human cells?
Absolutely, mutation can occur in any cell, human or non-human. Mutation has a number of causes, but radiation is probably the most significant. If the DNA is struck by radiation (even solar radiation, which is to say, sunlight) it will be altered, hence there is a mutation.

What is meant by chromosome?
A chromosomal abnormality occurs when any of the genes that make up a human, animal, or plant has a genetic mutation.
What is the most common mutation to genes?
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
Will a mutation in a human skin cell pass on to the persons offspring?
If you are referring to a mutation in individual cells of the skin, then no.
Can human mutation can occur spontaniously?
