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

∙ 12y agono.it is not.as mutagens are chemical substances or environmental conditions which cause mutation. even substances like ligase enzymes also cause changes in dna.

Substances used to increase the rate of mutations?
pretty much any substance that is radioactive. just like in Fallout 3
What is a mutagen?
an environmental angent that changes DNA. APEX
What are examples of mutagens?
Mutagens are any factor that increases the chance of or induces tumour formation. Three examples are as follows:Radioactive waves (Gamma rays, alpha and beta particles)Ultra-violet (UV) wavesMany metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium and nickelThey are not equal in their levels of harmfulness or range, with alpha particles being the most harmful of the above, but also the mutagen with the lowest range.
What do you call the person who carries out the agent of change's instructions?
The person who carries out the agent of change's instructions is commonly referred to as an implementer. The primary role of an implementer is to ensure that the changes proposed by the agent of change are properly executed, and that the desired outcome is achieved. Implementers often focus on the most efficient and cost-effective way to implement a change, and typically have strong organizational and problem-solving skills. They are also responsible for communicating the progress of the change to the agent of change, and for troubleshooting any issues that may arise.The responsibilities of implementers can be broken down into the following categories: Organizing and planning the change process Identifying potential risks and making contingency plans Developing an implementation timeline Coordinating the resources needed to carry out the change Actively monitoring the change process Troubleshooting any problems that arise Communicating updates and progress to the agent of changeThe success of a change initiative depends greatly on the effectiveness of its implementer. An experienced and knowledgeable implementer can be the difference between a successful change and an unsuccessful one.
What are complex hereditary diseases?
A pathogen is any infectious agent (parasite, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc.) that causes a disease to its host, the body it affects. Any disease caused by a foreign, biological agent is considered a pathogenic disease. Examples include: tetanus(bacteria), influenza(virus).
What is any force substance or organism that causes a material to change?
An agent
What is carcinogens and mutagens?
In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, mutagen can causes cancer. while a carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer.
Any chemical or agent that causes cancer?
Carcinogen
Substances used to increase the rate of mutations?
pretty much any substance that is radioactive. just like in Fallout 3
What causes the change in velocity?
Any force causes acceleration i.e. change in velocity.
What is Any time stress causes rock to change is?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
Anything that can cause damage to DNA?
Radiation (X-rays) Smoking UV light
Any time stress causes rocks to change what is the result?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
Is the result Any time stress causes rocks to change?
Any time stress causes rocks to change, deformation occurs.
What is a mutagen?
an environmental angent that changes DNA. APEX
What causes any change in motion?
Acceleration
