Question
X ray causes mutations by
- Transition
- Transversion
- Base substitution
- Deletion
Hint:
The X-rays cause deletion mutation in the reproductive cells.
The correct answer is: Deletion
- X -rays cause mutation in the body.
- The ionizing radiations lead to damage in the reproductive cells that results in mutation.
- This mutation is caused by the deletion of a nucleotide from a sequence that is transmitted to generations.
