Examples of mutations

#   Sentence  
1. noun Exposure to radiation causes susceptibility to mutations.
2. noun Because the white genes are mutations of the genes of the original men of color — and males are mutations of the original females — we can finally answer the question Is God black? The answer is Yes, She is.
3. noun It seems that the origin of the mutations is in the consumption of contaminated water.
4. noun Scientists are now using a genetic approach to estimate the ages of corals. The method determines when a coral egg and sperm originally met to form the genome of a coral colony. The researchers then track the number of mutations that have accumulated in the genome since that time. Because mutations tend to arise at a relatively constant rate, researchers can estimate the approximate age of the coral genomes in their study.
5. noun Many of the most concerning variants share the same mutations, even when they appear on different continents. That may mean that the virus can mutate in only a limited number of ways.
6. noun Many of the most concerning variants share the same mutations.
7. noun "Maybe this is it," Gronvall said. "Maybe it's not possible for the virus to have entirely different mutations that we haven't seen yet and still function."
8. noun There are no reports on this mutation because such a mutant wouldn't even be born.
