Due to radiation exposure, genetic mutations have occurred in 14 solutions. In these cases, the word that should be written into the grid is a real word, but it is one letter different to the word described by the clue. There are three types of mutation: (a) the addition of A, T, G or C; (b) the deletion of A,T, G or C; (c) the substitution of A, T, G or C for one of the other three letters. For mutated clues, two word lengths are shown: the first shows the length of the word clued and the second shows the length of the word in the grid.
