Not all Mutations are Bad Some mutations are beneficial Mutation: permanent change in DNA
Malaria Resistance Hemoglobin mutation called HbS Makes red blood cells take on a curved, sickle-like shape. With one copy, it confers resistance to malaria Two copies, it causes the illness of sickle-cell anemia.
Increased Bone Density Gene LRP5 Genetic Mutation called sclerosteosis Humans born with bones several times denser than the average human
Super Sprinter Gene ACTN3 Controls fast-twitch muscle fibers and flexing 20% of population has mutated gene making them superior athletes
Almond Trees Almond seeds from wild species contain amygdalin (bitter chemical that converts into cyanide inside the human body) A single gene mutation resulted in a variety that no longer synthesizes amygdalin. When humans discovered this non-bitter almond species, they cultivated them, which is continued till today.
