We now can refine that definition: a mutation is a change in the DNA base sequence that results in a change of amino acid(s) in the polypeptide coded for by that gene.
Restriction enzymes always cut at the same base sequence. Because no two individuals have identical DNA, no two individuals will have the same length fragments. For example, the enzyme EcoRI always cuts DNA at the sequence GAATTC.

Homeobox A short stretch of nucleotides whose base sequence is virtually identical in all the genes that contain it. Homeoboxes have been found in many organisms from fruit flies to human beings.
The DNA base sequence carries the information a cell needs to assemble protein and RNA molecules. DNA sequence information is important to scientists investigating the functions of genes.
The order is determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for the protein. Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs; and each protein has unique functions.
Insertion mutations. Changes in the base sequence of a DNA molecule resulting from the random integration of DNA from another source. See DNA, Mutation.
In situ. Refers to performing assays or manipulations with intact tissues.
Consensus sequence Idealized base sequence that represents common features of a promoter site.
Conservative substitutions Mutations that replace one amino acid with another similar in size and chemical properties.
" A large starting population of molecules (typically nucleic acids) that varies randomly in base sequence and shape is subjected to replication with variation, followed by selection.
degeneracy The genetic code is said to be degenerate because more than one three-base sequence in DNA can code for one amino acid.
degeneration The death or functional impairment of cells connected to destroyed or severely damaged neurons.
a defined segment of DNA or RNA, usually carrying a radioactive label, used to identify a specific segment of DNA that carries the complementary base sequence

What that means, then is that that identifies a region which is functionally important. That is, if you change the base sequence of the DNA in that particular region, you alter the function of the gene. And so those have been maintained.
