Question
What is mutagenesis?
- Multiple mutations
- The production of mutations
- Mutations that are gene specific
- The study of mutations
Hint:
Mutagenesis is the process by which an organism's deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) change, resulting in a gene mutation.
The correct answer is: Mutations that are gene specific
- Mutagenesis is a process by which the genetic information of an organism is changed by the production of a mutation.
- It may occur spontaneously in nature, or as a result of exposure to mutagens. It can also be achieved experimentally using laboratory procedures.
