Alcohol itself is not classified as a mutagen, but its metabolite acetaldehyde is considered mutagenic. Acetaldehyde can cause DNA damage, which may lead to mutations. Chronic alcohol consumption can increase the risk of cancer due to these mutagenic effects, particularly in tissues exposed to high levels of acetaldehyde. However, the relationship between alcohol and mutagenesis is complex and influenced by various factors, including genetic susceptibility and the presence of other carcinogens.
No. Diabetes is a condition, not a substance, and therefore cannot be a "mutagen".
What is a physical or chemical agent that changes the nucleotide sequence of DNA?
Environmental Mutagen Society was created in 1969.
Mutagen turns people into what animal it most recently been in contact with.
A mutagen could change a gene that tells a cell when to stop growing.
a change in the mRNA makes a mutation of the DNA
asbestos
of course it is!
Exposure to a mutagen, such as UV radiation, can lead to genetic mutations in organisms.
No, a mutagen is an agent (usually a chemical) that mutates DNA. It can cause an abnormal DNA sequence in a gene or elsewhere
mutagen
It is called a mutagen.
