Answer:
color of light
Explanation:
<em>The independent variable is the variable that is supplied and often varied/manipulated by the researcher during the course of experiments. It is varied/manipulated in order to see the effect it will produce on another experimental variable - the dependent variable.</em>
In this case, out of all the variables supplied by Mary, only the color of light supplied was varied - red, white, green, and blue; other variables supplied were kept constant. Hence, <u>the independent variable is the color of light.</u>
Answer: The correct answer is-
an agent that causes a mutation in DNA.
Mutagen is an agent or a substance that causes permanent change in the genetic material of living organisms ( DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid). This process is called mutation.
A mutagen can be a chemical, physical or biological agent that causes mutation in the DNA.
Example- Physical agents such as -
- Ionizing radiations like alpha particles, gamma rays, X-rays that brings break in the DNA and cause other damages.
- Ultraviolet radiations that creates pyrimidine dimers ( T=T) and causes replication errors if damage is not repaired.
