What gaea did?
Gaia (Earth) did many things in Greek mythology, with Ouranos (Heaven) she was mother of Titanes, Kyklopes, and Hekatonkheires and many others. She urged Cronus to castrate Ouranos, giving him a sickle, she also foretold that Cronus too would be overthrown by his children, which came true at the birth of Zeus.
Why are mutations such as nitrogen-based additions often much more harmful than nitrogen-based substitutions?
Insertions or deletions causes much severe mutations because they generate frameshift mutations. For example: The sequence AUA-GGA-UAU-CCU is normally translated to I-G-Y-P A substitution such as AUC-GGA-UAU-CCU has no effect on the amino acid sequence because of redundancy in the codon table. (AUC and AUA both code for isoleucine) Another substitution such as AUA-GGA-CAU-CCU is a bit more severe because it changes the sequence to I-G-H-P. However, since only one amino acid is changed, the overall protein may only be slightly affected (however there are instances where a single amino acid change can drastically change the behaviour of the protein, e.g. sickle cell anemia). A deletion such as AU_-GGA-UAU-CCU is much more severe since to the ribosome, the new sequence is AUG-GAU-AUC-CU (a 'frameshift'), and it will be translated as M-D-I, which is completely different from the original sequence and will likely cause the vast majority of the amino acids after the deletion to be incorrect, creating a completely useless protein. An insertion such as AUA-GGA-UAAU-CCU will now be read as AUA-GGA-UAA-UCC-U, which is translated to I-G-Stop-S. This introduction of a premature Stop codon will truncate the protein, once again generating a useless protein.

What does mineral zinc do to your body?
ZnO is a white powder which is commonly used as an ingredient of medicinal powders for dusting on the body. It is soothing, astringent, mildly antiseptic, and a long-time constituent of many nappy/diaper rash creams and powders. I've not heard of it being taken internally in my 35 years of being a pharmacist.
