This video proved to be very nice to watch, as it gave a very clear yet detailed look into the various components that cause mutations. Things like the proteins and amino acids in each cell were discussed along with a neat visual for clarity. I'm sure that this video could be used by people as young as middle school to fully and easily comprehend how mutations occur. The voice was also very relaxing to listen to, so that was nice.
