The effect does the chemical referred to as a mutagen has is it causes a permanent change in the genetic material (dna) and is denoted as option D.

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

This is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material in living organisms.

Mutagen on the other hand are agents which cause mutations which means alterations in the DNA of organisms. It affects the transcription and replication of the DNA thereby leading to cell death and other effects such as diseased condition.

This is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

PLEASE I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS!! qnq

Interesting biology question.

In order to answer this question, I hope you understand what is mitosis: cell division that creates two diploid "daughter" cells that are identical to each other. Gametes, remember, are the reproductive cells (egg cells and sperm).

If human gametes were made by mitosis, which is not true, because gametes are made in meiosis, they would simply be diploid with somatic cells. The two gametes would have 92 chromosomes, as each cell has 46 chromosomes. And after each generation, the number of chromosomes would keep doubling, which would be very weird. Remember that the normal amount of chromosomes that a human being has, is 46. Maybe humans would have mutations if that happened.
