After recently watching the movie "Outbreak" and how virus' evolved and 
mutated.  I was wondering why a virus could change it's structure and 
become a different type of virus but yet the same one.  Also if a virus 
wasn't airborn before it mutated how could it become airborn.  Please 
help!! I've been racking my brains and have asked people and now I've come 
to you
