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 can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
Does radioactive decay only cause deletion mutations in the DNA?
No. Radiation can cause rearrangements or alterations in the DNA. Additionally, radiation can cause improper gene replication, resulting in minor duplication and other errors.
A change in DNA is?
A change in an organism's DNA is called mutation.

Is cancer part of DNA?
Cancer is not part of DNA. Change in DNA. may cause cancer . Some people may be born with faulty DNA which might cause the cells that read the faulty section of DNA to reproduce uncontrollably, but on the other hand, exposure to radiation or carcinogens may cause the DNA in a few specific cells to mutate and thus not be controllable by the rest of the cells in your body.
What is the change of DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
Mutation
What is anything in the environment that causes a reaction or change in an organism?
Certain chemicals and radiation in the environment can cause a reaction or mutation in an organism. Such changes may alter organisms genotype or phenotype. Chemicals that induce changes in organisms DNA is called mutagens.
How does the exposure of radiation effect DNA?
The radiation can modify the molecules and atoms in DNA strands. Changing DNA changes the way the cell(s) reproduce and can result in a mutation that is inherited, a mutation that is cancerous, or the par of the DNA is inactive and will not result in a noticeable change.
How do you mutate an animal?
By definition, mutation is the change in the DNA structure and/or genes of a plant or animal. Often, radiation can cause this change. Other (less often) times, a chemical can cause this same effect. Because this is a change in DNA and/or genes, this trait can (and possibly will) be carried on through the animal/plant's offspring unlike, say, a broken wing or dyed fur would.
What is a random change in DNA called?
It is called Mutation . It is a spontaneous change in a chromosome or DNA .
