Any agent which causes a change in DNA is a mutagen?
these are all mutagenic agents:-ultraviolet radiation from sunlight -free radicals that are formed as by-products of aerobic respiration -aflatoxins that are found in moldy grains
What can cause a change in DNA?
X rays
What is a change in the base sequence in DNA?
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.
What is the change of the base sequence of DNA?
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.
A what is a physical or chemical agent that causes damage to DNA?
What is a physical or chemical agent that changes the nucleotide sequence of DNA?
Can a point mutation cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence?
Yes, a point mutation can cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence.
Is a mutagen a abnormal gene sequence?
No, a mutagen is an agent (usually a chemical) that mutates DNA. It can cause an abnormal DNA sequence in a gene or elsewhere
What would happen if the DNA was damaged?
it could change the entire dna structure, and cause deformations
How can mutagens cause genetic mutations in spite of your body DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
How can mutations cause genetic mutations in spite of your body's DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
What are some examples of mutagens?
Most common mutagens:Ionizing radiation such as xrays, gamma rays and alpha particlesUltraviolet (tanning beds)Intercalating agentsBenzeneChemical spills
How can a mutation in a DNA base sequence cause change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
