an environmental angent that changes DNA. APEX
A substance that causes a mutation <<< apexx
It is any agent (such as, chemical) that is responsible for mutation, typically a genetic mutation.
A mutagen is a substance which increases the frequency of mutation in a plant or animal population, which can lead to a variety of consequences.
When DNA is copied, damage can be caused by physical and chemical agents know as Mutagens
mutagenic factors are factors that could change the DNA sequence that makes up the gene.this factors could be hereditary or enviromental.
hereditary includes insertion deletion.Enviromental could be exposure to high intensity of ultraviolet rays high penetarting rays gamma rays toxic chemicals such as hydroxylamine infections........
Any agent that can induce a genetic mutation or can increase the rate of mutation. The most common examples are x-rays, ultraviolet irradiation (260 nm) and various chemicals.
a change in the mRNA makes a mutation of the DNA
What is a physical or chemical agent that changes the nucleotide sequence of DNA?
If you have just learned that a chemical you work with is a mutagen What effect does this chemical have?
of course it is!
pretty much any substance that is radioactive. just like in Fallout 3
No. Diabetes is a condition, not a substance, and therefore cannot be a "mutagen".
Ionizing radiation is the most common form of mutagen.
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.

What is a physical or chemical agent that changes the nucleotide sequence of DNA?
asbestos
If you have just learned that a chemical you work with is a mutagen What effect does this chemical have?
yes
smoking
of course it is!
