Genetic Diversity - ... In order for mutations to affect an organism's descendants, these mutations must: 1) occur in cells that produce the next generation, and 2) also these changes should affect the hereditary material.
byte: The byte data type is an 8-bit signed two's complement integer. It has a minimum value of -128 and a maximum value of 127 (inclusive). The byte data type can be useful for saving memory in large arrays, where the memory savings actually matters.
In many computer architectures, a byte is the smallest addressable unit of memory. For example, an 820 megabyte (MB) hard drive holds a nominal 820 million bytes of data. Due to massive increases in storage capacity over time, there are now eight additional units of measurement following the byte.
