allows a genetic breakthrough to be acknowledged by humanity in a matter of mere minutes. However‚ even with extreme bursts of technology‚ there are many mysteries that this world harbors which scientists have been trying to unravel for many decades. Many of these mysteries have much to do with the complexity of a muscle that is located underneath the human skull in which is called the brain. Technological advancement has allowed scientists to understand the intricacies of genetics. Genetics are linked

In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants
