What is Genetic Mutation?
It is permanent changes in your blood cells. It changes cell in your DNA and RNA. Those stand for Deoxyribonucleic Acid and Ribonucleic Acid. It will also control movements you do every day. Somethings like your eyeballs that flow in your blood cells are controlled by your Genes. Your Genes help determine your character traits. If your Genes changes, you will become a mutant. People think mutants are fake, but actually they are real. But when that happens, your DNA repair will help you change you back to a original person. Sometimes deleterious genes come to your body. That’s when your DNA repair cant do the job. That DNA becomes permanent so the person becomes a mutant.
Fun Fact ! Your DNA is created when you were in your mom’s tummy.

Point Mutation This Mutation is different then other Mutations.
Substitution [CGA] [AAU]
[CAA]
Sub
This is a Silent change.
Sub
A silent change is a change when you cant feel anything. On the graph above, [CGA] substituted in to [CGG]. The cell took out what the A could do. This has another way of saying. Missense changes also has effect on the body. (Barley any body has these changes.) These changes can develop Sickolsoneia.

Frame Shift
[CGA] C
G
It will take out what the A can do. But it could give you double powers of the G. Read more on page 7.
The frame shift is not silent to your feelings.
[GCG]
If you add a letter in front of the normal code, it will change one of your systems.
5
Nonsense Mutation
[CAA] [GUC] [CGA] [AAU]
[UGA] [AAU] [CAA] [GUC]
This mutation has a really big effect to your cells because the cell growth gets to much so the person who has this mutation might develop cancer. When the cell adds a U before the code, the cell will stop the growth of that cell. Then it will start the growth of the new letter.
6
Chromosomal Mutation Deletion
A B C D E F G H
A B C E F G H
The body has token the D out so the body is missing the function that the D represented. If the D is reading function (Which it is,) you will lose your ability to read. If your body adds another D to your cells, your reading ability will increase double.

Conclusion
You don’t need to be worried about mutations because you are not a mutant. The way to be healthy is to eat healthy and sleep well. If your guts tell you that somebody near you has Sickolsoneia don’t get too close to them.

About the Author
Kaden enjoys writing complicated books because it is fun to research. My hobby is to play basketball because it is good for the body. My fav series is Percy Jackson because it always leaves me in a cliff hanger.
Hope you have enjoyed the story!!! 11
