Answer: The agent that causes mutation in the DNA or chromosomes is called as mutagen. This can be any chemical or physical substance that can change the genetic material generally DNA or chromosome. This increases the frequency of mutation above the natural background level. These mutagens can cause cancer and hence can also be called as carcinogens though it is not always necessary. Mutagens can cause changes in DNA and make it genotoxic that can be fatal for the cells.

The endosymbiotic theory provides an explanation for the origin of chloroplasts. Which trait of chloroplasts supports this expla
kondor19780726 [428]
The double membrane. It's theorized that chloroplasts used to be their own single-celled organism in the environment (and therefore with its own membrane). Then, the theory states, a larger cell took in the chloroplast by endocytosis, which involves surrounding the chloroplast in the large cell's own membrane. The chloroplast would then have two membranes surrounding it. This is similar to the thinking for mitochondria becoming an organelle as well. Hope this helps! :)

Answer A:
 1. Spiral chloroplast:
                                     
This organelle help in photosynthesis, because it contain green pigment called chlorophyll in which water and carbon dioxide combine in the presences of sun light to prepare glucose.
2. Cell wall:
                   It is chemically composed of<span> an outer layer of pectin and an inner layer of cellulose. It provide rigidity and shape to spirogyra cell.</span>

Answer B:
                The other parts which are not labelled include mucilage, cytoplasm, pyrenoids, cytoplasmic strand.

Answer C:
               
Function of pyrenoid:
                                 <span>Each chloroplast strand has several round bodies called 'pyrenoids', which are responsible for starch production.
</span>Function of mucilage:
                                    Mucilage help in retaining water in cell.
