Chromosome mutations are more potentially dangerous than gene mutations because they can affect more than 1 gene.
Explanation:
Chromosome mutations are potentially more dangerous than gene mutations because they can be swapped and transferred to that parent's child. When a chromosome mutates, whole sets of genes are altered versus 1 gene.
