BIOLOGY - Genetics - What is DNA
DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid) is extremely important. All living things have DNA, or in the case of some viruses they have RNA instead. In eukaryotes, it is found within the nucleus and is arranged into chromosomes. DNA determines the...

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 -...
