Minor changes at gene level are described as

1. Point mutations
2. Chromosomal mutations
3. Reverse mutations
4. Forward mutations

Correct answer: Point mutations

Solution

Minor changes at the gene level usually involve alteration of one or a few nucleotides within a gene, which is called a point mutation. Chromosomal mutations affect larger chromosome segments, not just a single gene.
