The term for chemicals capable of producing genetic mutations is mutagens. Mutagens can alter the DNA sequence and lead to changes or abnormalities in an organism's genetic material.
When changes occur in the DNA sequence, it is called a mutation. Mutations can result from various factors such as exposure to harmful substances or errors during cell division. These changes can lead to genetic variations in offspring and may have different effects on traits within a population.
Mutations are random changes in DNA; genetic recombinations are new arrangements of genetic material (as a result of sexual reproduction). Together, they are the "fuel" that powers the "evolution machine," the direction of which is determined by natural selection.

Mutagens can induce changes in the genetic material of an organism, leading to mutations. These mutations can result in harmful effects such as increased risk of cancer, birth defects, or genetic disorders.

Mutations involve changes in the DNA code.
Yes
Mutation
Genetic changes are alterations in the DNA sequence of an organism. These changes can result from mutations, which are permanent changes in the DNA, or from genetic recombination, where genetic material is exchanged between organisms. Genetic changes can lead to variations in traits, evolution, and genetic disorders.
Yes, mutations are a significant source of genetic variation as they introduce new genetic changes that can lead to differences in traits among individuals within a population.
Spontaneous changes in genetic material are called mutations. These changes can occur naturally during DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors such as radiation or chemicals. Mutations can affect an organism's traits and may contribute to genetic diversity in a population.

Genetic changes in mitosis can only occur through mutations, which are changes in the DNA sequence. These mutations can be caused by errors during DNA replication, exposure to mutagens like radiation or chemicals, or spontaneous changes in the DNA.
