What Happens When Genes Mutate

Genetic Typos: Mutations are small DNA errors that can change a single letter in your code.
Silent Changes: Many mutations happen every day—and most cause no harm at all.
Evolution’s Engine: Mutations create the raw material for adaptation and diversity.
Random Rewrite: Radiation, chemicals, or even DNA copying errors can spark mutations.
Hidden Potential: Some mutations quietly improve survival in future generations.
Genetic Lottery: A single mutation can mean disease—or a new biological advantage.
Molecular Repair Crew: Your cells constantly fix millions of tiny DNA errors each day.
Mutation Hotspots: Some genes are more prone to change than others.
Hereditary Shifts: Only mutations in reproductive cells can pass to offspring.
Living Experiment: Every living thing carries a record of successful mutations that stuck.
