What is a change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals called?
A change in the DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals is called mutation.
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake is called a mutation.
What is the change of DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
Mutation
What is an environmental factor that could cause a base sequence in DNA to be changed to a different base sequence?
Long term exposure to harmful genotoxic chemicals or ionizing radiation can cause changes in the base sequence of DNA
What situation would most directly affect future generations naturally produced by a maple tree?
Ultraviolent radiation changes the DNA sequence within the gametes of some flowers of the tree

How radiation effect normal cell?
Ionizing radiation has the ability to harm proteins and change the sequence of DNA, causing mutations. This can have harmful effects for the cell
What will happen to the process of cell division if cells are exposed to radiation?
It stops it because radiation causes the DNA to take on a conformation, or form, that cannot be replicated by polymerase.
Can you tamper with DNA?
Not directly. Radiation can cause mutations in DNA. Excess heat (as in the case of a fever) can denature (destroy) the DNA sequence as well as other proteins which will usually result in cell death.
How are X-rays a mutagen?
A mutagen is an agent that changes the genetic material (usually DNA) of a cell which leads to a change in the frequency of mutation in a cell.A cell exposed to X-ray radiation of sufficient energy is subjected to ionising radiation. Ionising radiation is capable of displacing orbital electrons from their parent atoms. Thus atoms exposed to X-rays of sufficient energy become ionised.DNA is a molecular structure. Molecules are the electrically neutral grouping of at least two atoms by a covalent chemical bond.So exposing a cell to X-ray radiation (with sufficient energy) will change the charge of the atoms of the molecules of the cell.Attacking DNA molecules in this fashion produces free radicals within the DNA molecule. Free radicals are a type of oxidising agent which is a type of mutagen that changes the DNA sequence.
Is aggcguc a sequence of DNA?
No DNA sequence wont have U (uracil), so it is an RNA sequence!
What sequence of DNA bases with the DNA base sequence atgt?
TACA
A DNA sequence reads TGAAC Whatbis its mRNA sequence?
BBC is the DNA in a MRNA sequence. This is part of the body.
