mutagens.
What type of chemicals cause mutations?
Mutagens D2
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.

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.
True or false mutagens cause an increase in the production of reproductive cells?
true
