Mutations

Paul Andersen describes the major mutations found in the living world.  He starts with an analogy comparing the information in DNA with the information in a recipe.  Changes in the DNA can result in changes to the protein, like changes in the recipe can result in changes in the food.  He describes the three major point mutations; substitutions, deletions and insertions.  He also describes several chromosomal mutations.
