CIDE DICTIONARY
amber, n. [OE. aumbre, F. ambre, Sp. ámbar, and with the Ar. article, alámbar, fr. Ar. 'anbar ambergris.].
- A yellowish translucent resin resembling copal, found as a fossil in alluvial soils, with beds of lignite, or on the seashore in many places. It takes a fine polish, and is used for pipe mouthpieces, beads, etc., and as a basis for a fine varnish. By friction, it becomes strongly electric. [1913 Webster]" Amber is classified as a fossil resin, being typically of ancient origin, having solidified from the exudates of certain trees millions of years ago. Many pieces are found with insects embedded, the insects having been trapped by the resin while they were alive. The insects are often very well preserved, due to the antimicrobial action of components of the amber. It typically contains from 5 to 8 percent of succinic acid. "Baltic amber" has been mined for centuries in the region of Poland formerly called East Prussia, and is the variety used in most jewelry made in Poland and Russia. The Baltic strata containing amber extend under the sea, and amber beads may be found there deposited by waves along the shore. Amber was known to the ancient Greeks. The name "electron" comes from the Latin word for amber,
electrum , derived from the Greek word,'h`lektron (seeelectric ), due to the electric charge that amber takes when rubbed, as with cat fur. Although at one time used in fine varnishes, it no longer has any commercial value for that purpose, being used mostly in jewelry. Significant deposits are also found in the Carribean region, and smaller amounts in various other places. The notion, that DNA sufficiently intact to recreate extinct animals might be extracted from amber, was the basis for Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park", but has as yet (1997) not been demonstrated to be possible." [PJC] - Amber color, or anything amber-colored; a clear light yellow; as, the amber of the sky. [1913 Webster]
- Ambergris. [1913 Webster]"You that smell of amber at my charge." [1913 Webster]
- The balsam, liquidambar. [1913 Webster]
amber, a.
- Consisting of amber; made of amber. Shak. [1913 Webster]
- Resembling amber, especially in color; amber-colored. Tennyson. [1913 Webster]
amber, v. t.
- To scent or flavor with ambergris; as, ambered wine. [1913 Webster]
- To preserve in amber; as, an ambered fly. [1913 Webster]

CIDE DICTIONARY
mutation, n. [L. mutatio, fr. mutare to change: cf. F. mutation. See Mutable.].
- Change; alteration, either in form or qualities. [1913 Webster]"The vicissitude or mutations in the superior globe are no fit matter for this present argument." [1913 Webster]
- Gradual definitely tending variation, such as may be observed in a group of organisms in the fossils of successive geological levels. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
- As now employed (first by
de Vries ), a cellular process resulting in a sudden inheritable variation (the offspring differing from its parents in some well-marked character or characters) as distinguished from a gradual variation in which the new characters become fully developed only in the course of many generations. The occurrence of mutations, the selection of strains carrying mutations permitting enhanced survival under prevailing conditions, and the mechanism of hereditary of the characters so appearing, are well-established facts; whether and to what extent the mutation process has played the most important part in the evolution of the existing species and other groups of organisms is an unresolved question."Mutations can occur by a change in the fundamental coding sequence of the hereditary material, which in most organisms is DNA, but in some viruses is RNA. It can also occur by rearrangement of an organism's chromosomes. Specific mutations due to a change in DNA sequence have been recognized as causing certain specific hereditary diseases. Certain processes which produce variation in the genotype of an organism, such as sexual mixing of chromosomes in offspring, or artificially induced recombination or introduction of novel genetic material into an organism, are not referred to asmutation ." [Webster 1913 Suppl.] - a variant strain of an organism in which the hereditary variant property is caused by a mutation{3}. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
