In molecular biology and genetics, mutations are changes in a genomic sequence: the DNA sequence of a cell's genome or the DNA or RNA sequence of a virus. These random sequences can be defined as sudden and spontaneous changes in the cell. Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses, transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. They can also be induced by the organism itself, by cellular processes such as hypermutation.
Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences; these can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene from functioning properly or completely. One study on genetic variations between different species of Drosophila suggests that if a mutation changes a protein produced by a gene, the result is likely to be harmful, with an estimated 70 percent of amino acid polymorphisms having damaging effects, and the remainder being either neutral or weakly beneficial. Due to the damaging effects that mutations can have on genes, organisms have mechanisms such as DNA repair to prevent mutations.
We summon our inner powers
We call on our hidden deeds
Mutation of mind in order
To muster the strength we need
We travel our inner void
A journey within our brain
Projection of thoughts inside us
The answer is still the same
To live for the moment
To live for one day
To live for the moment
This is the way
Facing our own extinction
We breed under sterile slides
Perfection of race disorders
The madman the crazy rides
To live for the moment
To live for one day
To live for the moment
This is the way
Choose to live
Evolution
The way of life
Revolution
The will to fight
Universe
