which we live. Other examples include the family of ruminants and how they are able to digest lysazine, the mutations caused by X-ray radiation in the fruit fly, and countless other experiments scientists perform to get a better understanding of how mutations affect the world around us. Each organism on this planet had origins from mistakes. Mother Nature discards the failures of genetic variations, and continues with the success, forming a world rich in diversity.
