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.
Answer: The five kingdoms are: <u>animal, plant, fungi, protist and monera. </u>The system of biological kingdoms is the way in which science classifies living things according to their ancestry over the course of evolution. they also have common ancestors and therefore share some of their genes and belong to the same family tree.
Hope this helps!
Examples of a scientific theory
Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).
More likely to be found in plant cells
First of all, the most common type of CNS neuron is the multipolar neuron meaning it has many dendrites and dendritic branches, a cell body or soma, and a single axon. The information flow through this neurons starting from receiving multiple impulses from multiple synapses since this kind of neurons has many dendrites. The signal will then flow in an anterograde manner meaning the multiple signals will flow towards the cell body or the soma to be integrated. Next is that the integrated signal will flow to the neuron's axon to be transmitted to other neurons.
