An introduction to Asimov's Genetics of Radiation.

A look at cells and chromosomes and the role they play in the genetics of radiation.

Different chemical changes occur in the cell and are guided and controlled by the existence of as many thousands of different enzymes within the cell.

The Genetic Effects of Radiation by Isaac Asimov is part of HackerNoon’s Book Blog Post Series. The Table of Links for this book can be found here. Mutations - Spontaneous Mutations

Some gene mutations produce characteristics so undesirable that it is hard to imagine any change in environmental conditions that would make them beneficial.

In 1896, radioactivity was discovered and radioactive substances were concentrated in laboratories in order that they might be studied.

Where radiation is insufficient to render a cell incapable of division, it may still induce mutations.

The danger of overexposure to high-energy radiation was understood fairly soon but not before some tragic experiences were recorded.

With the ability to read, write, and edit the code of life, the so-called biorevolution can lead to advances in human longevity and overall prosperity.

Entropy is a cornerstone across various scientific disciplines, ranging from physics, information theory, engineering, evolution and even philosophy
