Cody Vewchar, May 19/09 Blog #4 3/3

What we did today:

1. Wake up pop quiz after may long. Due the next day
2. Complexity in proteins (notes)
3. Mutations case study

Thoughts and/or Opinions:

The thing about mutations was quite interesting and how mutations are actually changes in the genetic material of that species. Considering how much genetic material a human has it seems alot could go wrong with just a few errors that could cause some serious mutations to occur. This whole unit is really quite interesting and since I learned today that cancer is actually a form of mutation I was wondering what else is a mutation or causes mutations of genetic material.

This site can give you quite a bit of info on really what happens to cause DNA mutations.
