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:
If the transgenic salmon escapes from their pens into the ocean population there are chances that they would compete with the wild salmons for food and space. They may also bring new diseases and changes to the food webs and ecosystem of the ocean.
Explanation:
A transgenic organism or genetically modified organism is the one that undergoes alternation through recombinant DNA technology.
No, I do not think that FDA should approve Aquabounty of growing and selling transgenic salmon since there is higher chance that they may interfere and disturb with the ecosystem and might also bring new diseases.

Answer:
Option-B
Explanation:
Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.
Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
I would say the answer is A
