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.
short. 1  Short data type is a 16-bit signed two's complement integer. 2  Minimum value is -32,768 (-2^15) 3  Maximum value is 32,767 (inclusive) (2^15 4  -1) Short data type can also be used to save memory as byte data type.  Default value 1  is 0. Example: short s = 10000, short r = -20000.
