Answer:

The correct answer is that X-rays are dangerous mutagens.

Explanation:

X-rays refers to the rays, which are used for examining dental and bone scans. These are the compelling mutagens, which signifies that they can result in mutations in the genomes of the organism getting exposed to the rays directly. X-rays are electromagnetic radiations, and mutagens refer to any agent, which can produce serious modifications in DNA.  

Thus, protection is needed at the time of getting exposed to the X-rays, due to which a protective vest is recommended in the given case.

<h3>Short Answer: False</h3>

Long Answer: Yes, sort of. You do use a scanning microscope to start, as you will want to move the microscope to the correct location before increasing the magnification. However, you wouldn't use the scanning lens to see with high magnification.

Do you agree with the theory that global warming might cause an ice age? Why or why not?
Anit [1.1K]

Yes. Greenhouse gasses make it hard for heat to leave the atmosphere, but also hard for heat to enter the atmosphere. So once the heat is gone, it will be hard for earth to warm up again, thus causing an ice age
