organism with a genetic mutation

A living thing, often a person in stories, whose genes are different because of a change, and that may have special powers or unusual features.

استعمال کا انداز: a mutant [does something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "mutant" (the changed organism) with "mutation" (the change itself). Use "mutant" for the living thing and "mutation" for the process or change in the genes.
ہم معنی الفاظ
genetic freak (Informal and more negative; stresses how abnormal the organism is, without the neutral scientific tone of "mutant".)
متضاد الفاظ
normal human (Describes a person without unusual genetic changes, contrasting with a human mutant.)

changed by genetic mutation

Having genes that are different from the normal kind because of a change in the DNA.

استعمال کا انداز: mutant [gene/strain/protein/cell]
عام غلطی:
Learners may use "mutant" as an adjective in very general situations (e.g. "mutant idea") where native speakers would usually say "strange" or "weird" unless speaking metaphorically. In technical writing, reserve adjective "mutant" mainly for genes, strains, proteins, or cells.
ہم معنی الفاظ
mutated (Very close in meaning; "mutated" often focuses more on the process or result of change, while "mutant" is more label-like for the altered form.)
متضاد الفاظ
wild-type (Technical term for the usual, non-mutant form used in genetics, the opposite of a mutant form.)

very strange or odd person

A person who is very different or weird, said in a joking or unkind way, not because of real gene changes.

عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
freak (Very similar informal insult, but can sound harsher or more offensive than calling someone a "mutant" in a playful context.)
متضاد الفاظ
normal person (Highlights someone who fits social expectations, contrasted with a "mutant" seen as oddly different.)

ہم معنی الفاظ
freakish (Also means very strange in appearance or style, but can sound slightly more dramatic or negative than "mutant" in playful contexts.)
متضاد الفاظ
