"DNA variations are prominent among individuals. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mutation are two such variations that result in the nucleotide sequence differences in organisms. The key difference between SNP and mutation is that SNP represents a single nucleotide difference in DNA while mutation represents any change of DNA including single to many nucleotide differences. SNP is one kind of a mutation."
