Genetic Mutations 1/14/16

Summary:
There are many different type of genetic mutations such as Insertion. Insertion is a genetic mutation that occurs when a need piece  of DNA is added which causes the number of DNA bases. The result of this would be that the protein made by the gene won't function properly and will be bad for your body. Next theres Deletion. Deletion occurs when the number of DNA bases changes when a piece of DNA is removed. This could cause the proteins in the making to come out bad or with errors and there are many other different types of genetic mistakes.
S&EP SP1- Asking Questions And Defining Problems
I asked the question "What is a GMO and whats the difference between a mutation and a GMO?" A GMO is when somebody modifies a piece of DNA on purpose nobody forces them and its not by accident they choose to change their DNA. Genetically modifying is when your cells duplicate wrong or when a toxic chemical somehow gets into your body and causes your DNA to go haywire. The difference between the two is how a GMO is when you decide to change your DNA while a genetic modification is when your cells randomly disfunction causing your DNA to change giving you a mutation.
XCC: Cause And Effect
Every single little mistake in DNA can completely change your body. Like I described in the summary there are many types of different genetic mutations. And even the smallest error in DNA can have either a good outcome or a bad outcome. Most of the time the effect could be negative. But the positive effect can only be when you decide to give yourself a genetic mutation. Like my superhero for instance she got mutated when a piece of the Pistol Shrimp skin mixed with something that would take the DNA from the Pistol Shrimp skin and become a new base in my superhero DNA.
