Mutation is alteration of the genetic material. Radiation has some energy and when an individual is exposed to the radiation is penetrates through the cells making up our body causing them to heat up. This heating up destroys the DNA in the cell and this in long run produces mutation in an organism.

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 can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
What is mutation radiation?
Mutation radiation refers to radiation that can cause changes in the DNA sequence of an organism, leading to genetic mutations. These mutations can result in changes to an organism's characteristics or traits, which can have various effects on the organism's health and development. Exposure to mutation radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can increase the risk of developing cancer or other health issues.
What are some examples of harmful Radiation?
mutation
What are environmental factors affecting mutation under radiation?
radiation survival pressure
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
What can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
What mutation causes skin cancer?
gamma radiation
What is the difference between an acquired mutation and a hereditary mutation?
An acquired mutation, also known as a somatic mutation, occurs in an individual's cells during their lifetime and is not passed to offspring. These mutations can result from environmental factors, such as radiation or chemicals, or errors during cell division. In contrast, a hereditary mutation is present in the germline cells and can be inherited from a parent, affecting all cells of the offspring. This type of mutation can be passed down through generations and is often associated with genetic disorders.
Can genetic mutation be sped up by ultra violet rays?
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
How do gene mutations happen?
mutation are caused by radiation and are 99.9% harmful
What can gene mutations be caused by?
A gene mutation can be caused by radiation. A gene mutation can also be inherited from family members, such as grandparents and parents.
