VS Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism
A Single-nucleotide polymorphism is a point mutation that is found within a population. Surely one of these pages should mention the other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by FergusRossFerrier (talk • contribs) 16:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal
It has been suggested that Cellular reproduction and DNA replication: Point mutation be merged into this article or section.


 * Support - This seems like a no-brainer to me. The other page doesn't follow Wikipedia article naming style and is quite directly a duplicate topic.  ~rezecib  ( talk ) 02:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Broken link in references
The 4th reference, specifically

http://members.cox.net/amgough/Fanconi-genetics-genetics-primer.htm ,

is a broken link.

This article is incorrect. Point mutation is an umbrella term for all mutations that occur in for a single nucleotide. It is NOT synonomous with substitution mutation. This article must be altered accordingly, and another article must be made for substitution mutation. --Man of Steel 85 (talk) 15:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
