["Imagine a very small part of DNA code.
GATTAGT
when a species reproduces, they replicate this piece of code. Their offspring will also have
GATTAGT
But reproduction isn't always perfect. When splitting and dividing, DNA can mutate. sometimes it's a deletion.
GATTAGT -> GATAGT
or perhaps a duplication.
GATTAGT -> GATTAGTT

Both these new codes are different from the original. They will have a different outcome when translated into body type. It's new information, just as adding or deleting letters can make new words."]

so if you have gattagt it becomes gataggtt, it has new info. right no it is just a new way to do what it usually did. like mixing to colors. does this make something new. its a different color but nothing new or no new thing was created. i think if gattgat became eheehho that would be something new.
