(cellular) Mutations are often caused by radiation. Some common types of mutation-causing radiation include: UV light (such as that from the sun which also causes sunburn), and X-rays. Some people also believe that lower frequency radiation in large amounts can also cause mutations in biological organisms, at this time there has not been enough scientific data to be sure. Mutations are also caused by viral infections/presence, chemical exposure, and physical/mechanical tissue damage (like a scraped knee).
I suggest you Google: "cellular mutation causes" and double check. I'm not a scientist and this answer shouldn't be used as study material.
high temperatures, food additives and UV rays
What else can I help you with?
Do Such mutations would increase or decrease the activity of genes that produce growth factors?
Mutations can either increase or decrease the activity of genes that produce growth factors. It depends on the specific nature of the mutation and how it affects the function of the gene. Mutations can disrupt the normal regulation of gene expression, leading to either increased or decreased production of growth factors.
Which of these statements represents a common misconception regarding point mutations?
mutations increase variety in a population. (apex)
How did scientists produce oil eating bacteria?
Inducing mutations in bacteria
Is it true that only mutations in gametes can be passed from parent to offspring?
Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal Mutations
Why do mutations in gene affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.

Are mutations more common in sperm cells or egg cells?
It depends on the age of the person. There are more mutations and defects in eggs as the woman ages. However, as men are constantly producing more sperm cells they will inevitably produce more cells that have mutations. The percentage of sperms cells that have mutations will increase as the man ages.

Which two factors can both cause a population to increase?
Reproduction & the increase of produce or other resources needed to survive.

How many chromosome errors produce polydactyly?
Polydactyly can be caused by various genetic factors, including mutations in genes related to limb development. Chromosomal errors, such as duplications or deletions involving regions associated with limb formation, can also lead to polydactyly. The exact number of chromosome errors that produce polydactyly can vary depending on the specific genetic alterations involved.
What factors need to be considered when deciding how to produce a document for a specific purpose?
i dont know but it could be newton meter
How can mutations cause genetic mutations in spite of your body's DNA repair enzymes?
Mutagens cause a change in DNA and by this way they can produce mutant DNA repair enzymes.
Has there ever been cases of mutations due to nuclear radiation?
Fruit flys and other insects. In humans the levels needed to produce inheritable mutations are usually fatal.
