The project we've been working on in class is covering DNA again and how likely it would be to contract a disease with a certain amount of mutations. After we took down the information on mutations in the four specimens we graphed the information. The normal specimen was Norm. The others had slight defects but none so bad as Carol whom most definitely has some funky mutation junk goin' on!! There's really no way of telling what exactly disease or disorder she is carrying but due to the serious defects in her DNA there is a very good chance that she may not be long for this world. However, since there isn't a way of knowing what exactly she has there is the possibility of that is something non life threatening and she'll only have some treatable side effects. Carol though, will indeed have some sort of disorder whether she likes it or not, poor dear.
