The damaging effects of radiation on the body are a result of?
Radiation has two primary bad effects: mutation and cellular damage. Radiation has been shown to be a strong mutagen; that is, to cause a much higher level of random changes during cell mitosis (replication/reproduction). As the odds that a mutation are harmful are much higher than it being beneficial, radiation will generally cause a large number of bad mutations to occur. This usually results in some form of cancer. Direct cellular damage is also possible from radiation. This is due to radiation being able to break DNA and RNA strands, not just cause mutations in them. Thus, radiation can directly lead to premature (or, even immediate) cell death.
Can radiation cause mutation?
Exposure to radiation can cause mutations in cells due to affecting the genes in the DNA. Thus radiation exposure on egg and sperm cells can cause mutations in offspring as the affected DNA copies itself when forming the fetus.Radiation is not going to cause someone who has already been born to grow an extra limb or the like but cancer is caused by mutated cells dividing themselves.In short- yes, it does.
What can cause a mutation when the cell copies its DNA?
i seriously dont know.. in error, exposure to chemicals and exposure to radiation
What can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
What is the name of the radiation that can increase mutation in humans?
There are a number of types of radiation that can cause mutation in humans.Gamma radiation is probably the one you were thinking of, but ultraviolet radiation can also cause mutation.Pretty much any kind of radiation that causes mutation will almost always cause cancer, as a result.
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
What is one other cause of mutation apart from UV radiation?
nuclear radiation
What can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
Why can a Xerox machine cause infertility?
Photocopy machines, whether made by Xerox or other companies, do not cause infertility.

Can genetic mutation be sped up by ultra violet rays?
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
What is bad thing about?
the gamma and beta radiations which can cause cell mutation and radiation poisoning
What is bad about radioactive things?
the gamma and beta radiations which can cause cell mutation and radiation poisoning
How does Ultra Violet radiation cause skin cancer?
The radiation damages a person's DNA, which causes a mutation that makes the cell divide out of control.
What can cause mutation when the cell copies its DNA?
i seriously dont know.. in error, exposure to chemicals and exposure to radiation
