When an error happens in the replication process, a mutation happens. The two kinds of common mutations are germline mutation and somatic mutation. Germline mutations are mutations a person inherit from their parents, and somatic mutations are mutations that happen later in their life.

+ | They DNA builds and maintains the human structure and are carried by chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell. Genes, which are part of the DNA, controls the physical appearance of the person. These things allow a cell to function correctly and replicate accurately. However, sometimes, issues like mutation can occur when cells replicate and it might prevent a cell from functioning normally. So, tests have been developed to find these issue and identify those can be inherited by later generations. | ||

+ | DNA replicates by splitting into two strands in the middle which exposes the nitrogenous bases. At the same time enzymes get produced to prepare the separated strands for duplication. Then, an enzyme called DNA polymerase wraps itself around the DNA strand and attaches new nucleotides to the exposed nitrogenous bases as it moves along the DNA. There are 4 types of nucleotides A, T, C and, G. A is always partnered with T and C is always partnered with G. This whole replication process is triggered by an initiator protein and which is followed by another protein called helicase which moves along the DNA and breaks hydrogen bonds holding the two sides of the DNA together. | ||
