heh
my dream is to become a mod ( and make helicopter cat a bromon )
When I said you I meant the voter
So you’re the worst mod?
if i become one i probably will 
I’m hoping i can get my trust level higher
I am the worst mod
not thrillseeker
Wait, I’m such a genius
When you say me, it means YOU want to be mod and you are the worst
When you say you, it means…basically the same thing glitch cuz I am a little unwell
the heck are you saying
idk
A gene mutation, which may also be called a gene variant, is a change in the structure of a gene, the unit of heredity. Genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a long molecule composed of building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide is built around one of four different subunits, called bases. These bases are known as guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine. A gene carries information in the sequence of its nucleotides, just as a sentence carries information in the sequence of its letters.
Types of Mutations and Their Effects
One type of mutation is a change to a base. This is called a point mutation, and it is like changing one letter in a word. Genes carry instructions for making proteins. When a base is changed in a gene, different results are possible, depending on which base is changed and what it is changed into. The gene may produce an altered protein, it may produce no protein, or it may produce the usual protein. Most mutations are not harmful, but some can be. A harmful mutation can result in a genetic disorder or even canncer.
Another kind of mutation is a chromosomal mutation. Chromosomes, located in the cell nucleus, are tiny threadlike structures that carry genes. A chromosome consists of a molecule of DNA and proteins. Sometimes, a long segment of DNA is inserted into a chromosome, deleted from a chromosome, flipped around within a chromosome, duplicated, or moved from one chromosome to another in these mutations. Such changes are usually very harmful.
One example of a chromosomal mutation is a condition called Down syndrome. In humans, each cell typically has two copies of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome usually results from the presence of one extra copy of a particular chromosome, or an extra portion of that chromosome. The presence of that extra chromosome leads to problems with certain organs of the body, such as the heart. It can also lead to leukemia—a canncer of the blood-forming cells—and produce intellectual disabilities. Many people with Down syndrome also have distinct facial features.

Broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and kohlrabi are all crops that evolved from the same ancestor—a wild mustard plant. Humans found a number of traits within that one plant and selectively bred several varieties that now bear little resemblance to their ancestor. Many of the crops we enjoy today were cultivated by Indigenous peoples farming native species. In the Americas, Indigenous farming practices lead to the creation of cacao, potatoes and corn, among other crops.
Genes do not act alone. Environmental factors, including diet and exposure to pollutants, can cause genetic mutations.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is an environmental factor that can lead to DNA damage in skin cells. UV light can come from the sun or from artificial sources, such as tanning beds. DNA damage from exposure to UV light can cause mutations in how skin cells multiply, which can result in skin canncer, or melanoma.
Mutations and Medical Advancements
Mutations can be a powerful motivator for scientific advancement, especially in medicine. Many medical advancements have resulted from the desire to detect or correct harmful mutations. Services called genetic testing and genetic counseling can help families detect mutations before birth or even before parents pass them on to their offspring. Gene therapies—including gene editing, which alters specific regions of DNA—have the potential to target a range of genetic disorders. Most of these gene therapies are still being tested and are not widely used.
