DNA is replicated every time a cell l divides. DNA polymerse, the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of DNA, "copies" the DNA sequence by adding nucleotides according to the A-T and C-G pairing. Sometimes it makes mistakes, most of the times it can correct these mistakes but sometimes it cannot and the sequence of the copied DNA results different from the original. Changes in the DNA can also occur due to damage of the DNA
