First of all, mutagens are substances that damage DNA. Moreover, DNA damage primarily happens during the replication and repair processes. In addition, these mutagens can be classified structurally into three categories: chemical, physical, and biological. Furthermore, biological mutagenic agents include several species of bacteria, viruses, and transposons, etc. On the other hand, X-rays, alpha particles, and gamma rays are few examples of physical mutagenic agents. However, a number of chemical agents such as mustard gas, acridines, nitrous acid, and alkylating agents induce different types of DNA damages. In conclusion, the purpose of the mutagenic agents quiz is to assess and evaluate your prior knowledge about mutagenic agents. Finally, we (TSP) hope our audience will enjoy “Mutagenic Agents Quiz” like our other quizzes.
