Mutagens cause changes, or mutations, in genetic material like DNA. Some mutagens include:

  • Chemical agents like benzene can metabolize with animal cells to create mutagens.
  • X-rays can damage DNA.
  • Some bacteria and viruses can inhibit DNA repair mechanisms.
  • Carcinogens are mutagens that have the effect of causing cancer.

What happens to atoms when in a chemical raction?

When atoms have a chemical reaction, that usually means that they changed their state and can not go back. For example, if you put food coloring in a glass of water, thats a chemical reaction because it cannot go back to its original form of just water. Or if you change a liquid into a solid or a solid into a gas and so on. Those would all be chemical reactions. We just learned about that a few weeks ago.
