(genetics) A mutation in which a gene, or other section of DNA, is removed from a chromosome.

The file contained errors that required deletion.
For parents

Deletion means: A mutation in which a gene, or other section of DNA, is removed from a chromosome.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

deletion means: A mutation in which a gene, or other section of DNA, is removed from a chromosome.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
