Remember how the Ninja Turtles came to be? Yes you do. It was the ooze! A radioactive ooze that mutated their DNA in just the right way to give them the ability to walk upright, talk, and do ninjutsu.

Let’s learn about the real ways that your DNA can become damaged, and the strategies nature has developed to combat these risks.
