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.
A byte can also hold a string of bits that need to be used in some larger unit for application purposes (for example, the stream of bits that constitute a visual image for a program that displays images or the string of bits that constitutes the machine code of a computer program). byte is abbreviated with a B. (A bit is abbreviated with a small b.) Computer storage is usually measured in byte multiples. For example, an 820 MB hard drive holds a nominal 820 million bytes-or megabytes-of data.
