The height of mount Everest is unlikely to cause mutation in DNA.
You may find this answer surprising but it is I assure you a true answer. Your problem is that you asked your question in the negative (What is UNLIKELY) which means that just about anything in the universe is a valid answer.

What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
Sometimes mutations in DNA can cause control of the cell cycle to fail. What might happen if such a mutation occurred in a person's DNA?
The failure of DNA replication during the cell cycle can cause mutations. If such mutations occurred in a person's DNA, the person can end up getting cancer.
What type of mutation do intercalating agents cause?
Intercalating agents are compounds that can insert themselves between nucleotides in a DNA molecule, acting much like insertion mutations. They may result in a frameshift, which can alter the codon reading frame and result in aberrant DNA transcription and replication.
Can mutations cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
Why dont all mutations cause cancer?
Mutations in the DNA can cause cancer, but it's not the only cause of cancer. Did you know you can get cancer if you are exposed to coals and tars too long?
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
Can mutagenic agents cause cancer?
Yes. Mutagenic agents cause mutations in DNA. If those mutations occur in cell growth genes, this can lead to a cancerous cell that can grow and spread out of control. I work in a lab and many of the chemicals I work with are described as Carcinogens, chemicals that are known to directly cause cancer. many mutagenic agents are also carcinogens.
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.
Sometimes mutations in DNA can cause control of the cell cycle to fail. What might happen if such a mutation occurred in a person's DNA?
The failure of DNA replication during the cell cycle can cause mutations. If such mutations occurred in a person's DNA, the person can end up getting cancer.
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What can cause mutations in DNA?
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 type of mutation do intercalating agents cause?
Intercalating agents are compounds that can insert themselves between nucleotides in a DNA molecule, acting much like insertion mutations. They may result in a frameshift, which can alter the codon reading frame and result in aberrant DNA transcription and replication.
What are some of possible consequence of mutations?
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
Can mutations cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
What is one way that can 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.
If you have just learned that a chemical you work with is a mutagenwhat effect does this chemical have?
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.
How does chemestry affect cancer?
Chemicals that do not cause cancer by themselves but can act with another chemical to cause cancer (cocarcinogens). Damage to DNA in cells can lead to cancer. ... Unrepaired DNA damage can lead to mutations, or changes, in genes, and mutations in certain genes can cause cancer. You can also inherit mutations.
