Mutations are changes that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

They increase the genetic variation within a species because they can create entirely new alleles in a population, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring.

Answer:  Burping (also known as "belching" or "eructation") is one way the human body expels excess gas in your digestive system. It occurs when your stomach fills with air, which can be caused by swallowing food and liquids. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, is known to increase burping because its bubbles have tiny amounts of carbon dioxide in them.

As an avid soda drinker and statistics student, you notice you tend to burp more after drinking root beer than you do after drinking cola. You decide to determine whether there is a difference between the number of burps while drinking a root beer and while drinking a cola. To determine this, you select 20 students at random from high school, have each drink both types of beverages, and record the number of burps. You randomize which beverage each participant drinks first by flipping a coin. Both beverages contain 12 fluid ounces.
