Question
Chapter 14, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Mutagens can alter the genetic sequence of an organism which is most critical to the organism’s body. The presence of the NER system in the organism’s body helps in the rectification of mutation caused in the strands of DNA. Oncogenes can also cause cancer.
