Question

Which of the following agents is unlikely to cause Mutations in DNA ..ultraviolet radiation from sunlight ,x-ray, light from fluorescent lightbulb, or chemicals found in cigarette smoke

Answer 1

mutation in dna caused by ultraviolet radiation from sun and x-ray

Answer 2

X-ray can alter the DNA in the body.

The X-ray emits the high energy radiation that can have a negative effect on the body.

It usually absorbs the water molecules or atoms that are present around DNA.

Then, the energy is replaced by the electrons that are extracted from the atom.

This makes a free radical.

Hence, it becomes more reactive and dangerous for a body.
