What are 4 common environmental mutagens?
Mutagens may be of physical, chemical or biological origin. The most common however are all around us. 1. Ionizing radiations (X-rays, Gamma rays, alpha, and beta particles.) This is typically occurs from radioactive decay. 2. Ultraviolet Radiation: can cause replication errors and over overexposure from the sun can cause this. These both cause DNA replication errors. There are also process that can make non harmful mutagens destructive.
What are X rays ultraviolet light and radioactive substances classified as?
mutagens
Is an X-ray wave a mechanical wave?
No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.
What is carcinogens and mutagens?

What are three types of mutagens?
Mutagens may be of physical, chemical, or biologic origin. Examples of physical mutagens include Ultraviolet rays, radioactivity, and over high temperature. Examples of chemical mutagens include nicotine, pesticides, and methane. Examples of biologic mutagens include bacteria and viruses.
