"If a germ cell suffers a genetic mutation, its offspring will carry the
genetic mutation further. The hereditary illnesses are the best example
in this case. In some cases, the somatic cell of the organism may suffer
a genetic mutation. This will be present in all the descendants of the
cell that live in the organism. These will make the cell malignant and
lead at a certain point to cancer. Sometimes, the DNA practically
repairs the cell, as the cell has a certain number of pathways. Through
these, the mistakes can be repaired by the enzymes. Unfortunately, in
most of the cases, the genetic mutation is harmful."
Can mutations in DNA which were caused by levels of radiation from Chernobyl be happening now?
