Common mutagenic agents include?
In genetics, a mutagen (Latin, literally origin of change) is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are therefore also likely to be carcinogens. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens: so-called "spontaneous mutations" occur due to spontaneous hydrolysis, errors in DNA replication, repair and recombination. This is from wiki hope it helps
Mutations are changes in?
changes in DNA
Is a species that lacks DNA repair mechanisms likely to have more or fewer variations between individuals than a species that possesses repair mechanisms?
More, because more spontaneous mutations will go uncorrected.
What is one way that changes occur in a DNA Sequence?
Mutations (point mutations, inversions, translocations...) cause changes in DNA Simply stated, a mistake made while DNA copies causes changes in DNA.
What is one way that changes can occur in a DNA sequence?
A radioactive carbon isotope can "convert" ... changing the chemistry of a codon.
Spontaneous changes in genetic material are called?
Mutation.

What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
Is a species that lacks DNA repair mechanisms likely to have more or fewer variations between individuals than a species that possesses repair mechanisms?
More, because more spontaneous mutations will go uncorrected.
What is the reason for cancer?
Mutations in the DNA, which can either be spontaneous or caused by a carcinogen. Occurs on vital parts of a cells DNA, causing it to then replicate uncontrollably.
Can your legs explode?
With no outside help, not likely. However, there have been some reports of Spontaneous Human Combustion, but that involves the entire body.With no outside help, not likely.

What would most likely be spontaneous?
Spontaneous means without planning. A spontaneous visit to the zoo is one you thought of at the last minute out of nowhere. Spontaneous combustion is when something catches fire without apparent reason, just out of nowhere.

Which of the following would most likely be spontaneous?
A reaction that produces heat
What subset of DNA changes are analyzed by molecular biologists to determine evolutionary relationships?
Dna changes in important genes
