I have code that looks like this:

public class Polynomial {
    List<Term> term = new LinkedList<Term>();

and it seems that whenever I do something like term.add(anotherTerm), with anotherTerm being... another Term object, it seems anotherTerm is referencing the same thing as what I've just inserted into term so that whenever I try to change anotherTerm, term.get(2) (let's say) get's changed too.

How can I prevent this from happening?
