Does the body have any built in defense against mutation?

Radioactivity from any source causes mutations in the chromosomes of all living things from viruses to humans; however, properly operating nuclear reactors contain their radioactivity so there is no exposure. Improperly operated nuclear reactors (e.g. Chernobyl, Fukushima) can cause containment failures and release enormous amounts of dangerous radioactivity. However these mutations are at the genetic level and are random in different cells. They will not transform people, animals, plants into other forms as often depicted in movies. The most common result of these mutations is cancer. Many cells with mutations simply die.


How are genes related to the structure of DNA?

Each DNA double helix is divided into a certain number of genes, marked by a specific start sequence-- sort of like chapters in a book. One whole piece of DNA is referred to as a "chromosome." Humans have 2 sets of 23 of these, for a total of 46. Although estimates vary, there are between 20,000 and 100,000 genes in the entire human "genome."

Is book burning similar to book banning?

No, book banning is when a group in power ban it from a country so you can't read it. That includes printing the book, selling or giving it, or reading it. Book burning is when a group in power burns ALL books in a community. For example, when Country A overthrows Country B, then the victor might burn all books of that culture's history.
