Mutations are changes in our DNA that can affect our health and the way diseases develop. Here are some important points I’ve learned about them:
Genetic Variation: Mutations add different traits, which helps with evolution.
Health Impacts: Some mutations can lead to genetic disorders. One example is cystic fibrosis.
Cancer: Other mutations can cause cancer by messing up how our cells normally work.
So, even though mutations can be harmful, they also create the wonderful variety of life we see around us!
