As biotechnology has improved, scientists are able to look more closely at DNA, the molecules that hold genetic instructions for development, reproduction, and functioning. The ability to study DNA closely allows scientists to find evidence of genetic mutation and
better understand the effects of these changes. Think about how genetic mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or cause no change at all.
