This summer I attended Junior Medical Camp and we learned about how DNA is used 
in forensics. I am very interested in DNA. I also heard that eating microwaved 
food is not good for you. So I'm wondering if the DNA is changed. Also I would 
like to do an experiment to show whether it is changed or not. How can I do 
this?
