How does mutagens enter a human's body?
Mutagens can enter the human body through various routes such as inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Once inside the body, mutagens can disrupt DNA and lead to mutations that can potentially contribute to the development of cancer. It is important to minimize exposure to mutagens to reduce the risk of negative health effects.
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.
Explain how mutagens can cause genetic mutations in spite of your body's DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens are substances that can alter DNA, leading to mutations. Some mutagens can overwhelm the repair machinery in your cells, causing errors to go unrepaired. Additionally, some mutations occur in regions of DNA that are less effectively repaired by the cell's machinery.
In what ways can you limit your exposure to mutagens?
You can limit your exposure to mutagens by avoiding tobacco smoke, UV radiation from the sun, and certain chemicals in pesticides and industrial settings. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding environmental pollutants can also reduce your exposure to mutagens.
