mutagenic factors are factors that could change the DNA sequence that makes up the gene.this factors could be hereditary or enviromental.
hereditary includes insertion deletion.Enviromental could be exposure to high intensity of ultraviolet rays high penetarting rays gamma rays toxic chemicals such as hydroxylamine infections........

How are the mutagenic compounds TRP 1 and TRP 2 formed?
TRP 1 and TRP 2 are not mutagenic compounds. They are enzymes involved in the synthesis of melanin, a pigment responsible for hair, skin, and eye color in humans.
Chemical changes in the structure shown are most likely to happen during?
Exposure to mutagenic agents
8 What are two genetic characteristics that cause Ames test strains to be particularly sensitive to mutagenic agents?
All strains are also deleted for the uvrB gene. so 1. uvrB is necessary for DNA repair; 2. its lack results in greater sensitivity to mutagenic agents.
What is example of mutagenic agent?
Radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays and ultraviolet light are examples of mutagens.
Can plutonium cause mutations?
Some specialists consider plutonium 239 as mutagenic. Also plutonium is very toxic and radioactive.
Mutagenic agents are substances that?
Increase the rate of gene mutations
What is a benzopyrene?
A benzopyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon which is both mutagenic and carcinogenic.
Can mutagenic agents cause cancer?
Yes. Mutagenic agents cause mutations in DNA. If those mutations occur in cell growth genes, this can lead to a cancerous cell that can grow and spread out of control. I work in a lab and many of the chemicals I work with are described as Carcinogens, chemicals that are known to directly cause cancer. many mutagenic agents are also carcinogens.
What is an effective mutagenic agent that could have affected the course of animal domestication among the Natufians?
There are several mutagenic agents that could have affected animal domestication in Natufians. These include gold, silver and other heavy metals.
What are antimutagens?
Antimutagen is a factor or agent that reduces or interferes with the mutagenic actions of effects of a substance.
Is sodium hydroxide a carcinogen?
Sodium hydroxide is not considered as a chemical with carcinogenic or mutagenic effects.
How are the mutagenic compounds TRP 1 and TRP 2 formed?
TRP 1 and TRP 2 are not mutagenic compounds. They are enzymes involved in the synthesis of melanin, a pigment responsible for hair, skin, and eye color in humans.
Chemical changes in the structure shown are most likely to happen during?
Exposure to mutagenic agents
Purpose of liver extract in the Ames test?
Ames test is used to test whether a certain substance is mutagenic. Liver extract is optionally added to simulate the effect of metabolism, as some compounds, like benzo[a]pyrene, are not mutagenic themselves but their metabolic products are.
Agent that induces change in chromosome?
mutagen: ionizing radiation or chemicals, can also be called a mutagenic agent.
