What is one other cause of mutation apart from UV radiation?
nuclear radiation
What are environmental factors affecting mutation under radiation?
radiation survival pressure
What can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
Where does the replication of mutated genes occur in human cells?
Absolutely, mutation can occur in any cell, human or non-human. Mutation has a number of causes, but radiation is probably the most significant. If the DNA is struck by radiation (even solar radiation, which is to say, sunlight) it will be altered, hence there is 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 the name of the radiation that can increase mutation in humans?
There are a number of types of radiation that can cause mutation in humans.Gamma radiation is probably the one you were thinking of, but ultraviolet radiation can also cause mutation.Pretty much any kind of radiation that causes mutation will almost always cause cancer, as a result.
What can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
What is one other cause of mutation apart from UV radiation?
nuclear radiation
What are environmental factors affecting mutation under radiation?
radiation survival pressure
What are some examples of harmful Radiation?
mutation
What can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
Can radiation from a Xerox machine cause cell mutation?
No.
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
What mutation causes skin cancer?
gamma radiation
How is radiation associated with mutation?
Mutation is alteration of the genetic material. Radiation has some energy and when an individual is exposed to the radiation is penetrates through the cells making up our body causing them to heat up. This heating up destroys the DNA in the cell and this in long run produces mutation in an organism.
Can genetic mutation be sped up by ultra violet rays?
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
How do gene mutations happen?
mutation are caused by radiation and are 99.9% harmful
