Which of the these would most likely cause a mutation?
A mutagen is a substance that has the potential to cause a mutation in the DNA.
What is the single largest cause of mutation?
radiation------Causes of Mutation:1. Drugs / Chemicals2. Viruses3. Radiation4. Random Copy Errors (cause of 70% of all Mutation occures)
How does the exposure of radiation effect DNA?
The radiation can modify the molecules and atoms in DNA strands. Changing DNA changes the way the cell(s) reproduce and can result in a mutation that is inherited, a mutation that is cancerous, or the par of the DNA is inactive and will not result in a noticeable change.
DNA mutations can lead to genetic disorders diseases or even the death of an organism Which of the following factors is most likely to cause a mutation in DNA?
Exposure to harmful environmental factors such as radiation, chemicals, or toxins is most likely to cause mutations in DNA. These factors can damage the DNA structure and lead to errors in the replication process, increasing the risk of genetic disorders or diseases in organisms.
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Can radiation from a xerox machine cause infertility?
The radiation produced by a xerox machine is low and not likely to cause infertility in humans. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation from any source can potentially have adverse effects on reproductive health. It is important to follow safety guidelines and limit unnecessary exposure to radiation.
What can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic 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 would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
What can cause DNA mutation?
sunlight, radiation, and smoking.
Why can a Xerox machine cause infertility?
Photocopy machines, whether made by Xerox or other companies, do not cause infertility.
Can genetic mutation be sped up by ultra violet rays?
UV rays and other radiation can indeed cause mutation.
What is mutation radiation?
Mutation radiation refers to radiation that can cause changes in the DNA sequence of an organism, leading to genetic mutations. These mutations can result in changes to an organism's characteristics or traits, which can have various effects on the organism's health and development. Exposure to mutation radiation, such as ionizing radiation, can increase the risk of developing cancer or other health issues.
What is bad thing about?
the gamma and beta radiations which can cause cell mutation and radiation poisoning
What is bad about radioactive things?
the gamma and beta radiations which can cause cell mutation and radiation poisoning
How does Ultra Violet radiation cause skin cancer?
The radiation damages a person's DNA, which causes a mutation that makes the cell divide out of control.
Which of the these would most likely cause a mutation?
A mutagen is a substance that has the potential to cause a mutation in the DNA.
