Coming Soon ...

We have studied and learned about how genetic information is passed down from parent to offspring. We now understand that when DNA is replicated errors can occur causing mutations. Mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or make no difference for an organism. Can humans affect the mutation or change in genes? If so how is this possible?
