What is the relationship between carcinogens and mutations, and how do they contribute to the development of cancer?
Carcinogens are substances that can cause mutations in our DNA, which are changes in the genetic code. These mutations can disrupt the normal functioning of cells and lead to uncontrolled growth, which is a hallmark of cancer. Therefore, exposure to carcinogens can increase the risk of developing cancer by causing mutations in our cells.
