Question

Physical mutagens include:

  1. UV rays.

  2. X- rays.

  3. Gamma rays.

  4. All of the above.

hintHint:

Electromagnetic radiations fall under the category of physical mutagens.

The correct answer is:

All of the above.


    • Mutation is the change in the sequence of genetic material of an individual
    • The mutation can be caused by error in cell division or due to external factors
    • The factors causing mutation are called mutagens
    • Mutagens can be classified into:
    1. Physical mutagen: Electromagnetic radiations like X rays, gamma rays, UV rays, etc
    2. Chemical mutagen: Chemical compounds like alkylating agents, heavy metals, etc
    3. Biological mutagen: Infectious organisms like viruses

    • Mutation cause change in DNA sequence
    • Not all mutations are harmful
    • Some mutations are beneficial to survive, while some mutations may not produce any effect
