Gene mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence, in a particular gene, whereas chromosomal mutation is a change in several genes, in the chromosome. Gene mutation is only a slight structural alteration, whereas chromosomal mutations are either numerical or structural changes in the entire DNA strand.
