You tell a story to a second person who tells it to a third person, and so on. As the story is retold, changes are introduced. Over time, the number of changes increases. How is this process an analogy for what happens to DNA over time? (Just 2-3 sentences)

The story changes over time because of the way the teller and the listener communicating. The DNA of a newborn baby is a combination of their mom and dad. Every time the DNA changes it's because there is a new combination of two people.
