... We all know that only certain types of blood cannot be mixed with other types of blood. This is because if you mix the wrong types of blood agglutination or clumping will occur. This will causes the blood cells in the person being affected to clump together and the person would die from a blood clot ...

Mutation
... A fairly new type of mutation has been described, in which a particular codon is repeated. During replication, DNA polymerase can “stutter” when it replicates several tandem copies of a short sequence. For example, CAGCAGCAGCAG, 4 copies of CAG, will occasionally be converted to 3 copies or 5 copies ...
