UV rays. These cause thymine to form dimers in skin cell DNA.
Mutations. Exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and viral infections all increase mutation rates.
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
It increases the odds of mutation.
The relationship between mutation rates and generation span is that they both have in impact on the Mitochondrial DNA diversity patterns,unexpected variation of mutation rate across species
an environmental angent that changes DNA. APEX
They were (and still can be) shot with X-rays. This heightens mutation rate is Neurospora spores.
Radiation induced mutation (changes in DNA) is on a purely random basis (and so is ALMOST always detrimental).
yes
chance. environmental factors. human intervention.
mutation rates
as interest rates increase, demand for money increases.
A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.
