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 else can I help you with?
Name two methods used by breeders to increase the rate of mutation?
Two methods used by breeders to increase the rate of mutation are exposing organisms to mutagens, such as radiation or chemicals, which can induce mutations in DNA, and using mutator strains that have higher mutation rates inherent in their genetic makeup. Both strategies help increase the chances of beneficial mutations occurring that can be selected for during breeding programs.
What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
Name 2 major types of mutation?
i] spontaneous mutation ii] induced mutation iii] germinal mutation iv] somatic mutation v] chromosomal mutation vi] gene mutation are the some of the major types of mutation......
What is the name of the chromosomal mutation when a gene is missing from the chromosome?
tyt
Another name for heat radiation?
INFRARED RADIATION is also referred to as Heat Radiation.
What name is given to a sudden change in the chromosomes?
This is usually called a mutation.
What is the name of cell phone radiation?
electromagnetic radiation from rf energy
What is another name for infrared energy?
Another name for infrared energy is thermal radiation or heat radiation.
What is the scientific name for radiation?
The scientific name for radiation is "ionizing radiation." It includes forms of energy such as gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet rays that have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions.
What is another name for gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength and therefore high frequency and high energy per photon. Gamma radiation is also known as gamma rays.
Name one way humans maintain homeostasis when our body temperature rises too high?
When body temperature rises too high, humans maintain homeostasis by activating sweating. Sweat glands produce moisture on the skin's surface, which evaporates and helps cool the body down. Additionally, blood vessels near the skin surface dilate to increase heat loss through radiation. This combined response helps regulate and stabilize body temperature.
What is an example of a point mutation?
Scientifically speaking, noun | (genetics) a mutation due to an intramolecular reorganization of a geneSubstitution is a point mutation.
