Question

Mutation rates are affected by
(a) temperature
(b) X-rays
(c) gamma and beta radiation
(d) all of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

I hope the answer is all of the above

Answer 2

(d) all of the above

Explanation:

The probability of a cell acquiring a mutation in a gene is defined as rate of mutation. Mutation rate is affected by temperature, X-rays, gamma  and beta radiation. Mutation rate also affected by radiation - excitation and ultraviolet rays. So the measurement of the rate at which various types of mutation occur over time is called rate of mutation. Therefore, correct option is all of the above.
