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 else can I help you with?
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.
What cell cause mutations?
DNA polymerase
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
What are some of possible consequence of mutations?
DNA mutations can cause genetic disorders such as cancer, Diabetes, and Asthma.
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.
What agents do not cause mutations in DNA?
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.
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.
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.
Can mutations cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
How can mutagens cause genetic mutations in spite of your body DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
Can chemicals found in cigarette smoke cause mutations to DNA?
Yes, chemicals in cigarette smoke, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and formaldehyde, can interact with DNA and cause mutations. These mutations can lead to changes in the genetic information, which may increase the risk of cancer and other diseases.
What are 4 things that contribute to mutation?
DNA replication errors during cell division can introduce mutations. Exposure to mutagens such as radiation, chemicals, and viruses can cause DNA damage and mutations. Environmental factors like UV light can induce mutations in DNA. Inherited genetic mutations passed down from parents can contribute to mutations in offspring.
