What are Mutations and what are the different types of Mutations?
A mutation is a random change in the DNA. Mutations can be neutral, which means it does not cause a change in a trait of the organism, or it could cause a beneficial or a harmful mutation. There are a few different types of mutations -...

Mechanisms of DNA Damage and Repair
Remember how the Ninja Turtles came to be? Yes you do. It was the ooze! A radioactive ooze that mutated their DNA in just the right way to give them the ability to walk upright, talk, and do ninjutsu. Now, I'm as a big a Turtle fan as...
