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.
What is the change of DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
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.
How do radiation technicians know when they have been over exposed by radiation?
Radiation personnel wear a small badge containing a film which darkens upon exposure to radiation. These are regularly screened to determine if a dangerous exposure has taken place.
Does age affect exposure to chemicals?
Age does affect the exposure to chemicals. Babies and children generally have a higher risk of negative effects due to the exposure of harmful chemicals. An unborn fetus is the most susceptible. This is due to the fact that their organs are not fully developed.
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.
What can cause mutation when the cell copies its DNA?
i seriously dont know.. in error, exposure to chemicals and exposure to radiation
What is the change of DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
Mutation
What kinds of factors can cause a prophage to become virulent?
The answer in the textbook I have (Modern Bio. Holt) says radiation or certain chemicals can cause a prophage to become virulent. (pg. 494)
What is radiation exposure safety?
Radiation exposure safety is the process of preventing or minimizing exposure to radiation, and tracking what does occur.
What increases genetic drift?
Mutations. Exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and viral infections all increase mutation rates.
What can cause a mutation when the cell copies its DNA?
i seriously dont know.. in error, exposure to chemicals and exposure to radiation
What alternative treatments are available to radiation over exposure?
There is considerable interest these days in benevolent chemicals called "free radical scavengers."
What are carcinogens and what can cause them?
Carcinogens are cancer-causing things, including some chemicals and some types of radiation. The risk for their causing cancer can be brought about by smoking, by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, nuclear radiation, or to a wide range of toxic substances.
How is mouth cancer caused by cigerettes?
Chemicals (carcinogens) in the smoke, and the heat irritate the tissues of the mouth. Long term exposure to tobacco damages the cells, causing uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.
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 does risk mean in a risk assessment?
Risk is an uncontrolled exposure to loss.
