Question 2 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602
Harmful radiation can damage DNA, and mistakes made when DNA is copied can change its sequence. Some viruses can also insert genetic material into a cell’s DNA or otherwise disrupt it, causing mutations. An abundance of nuclease is not generally identified as a cause here; nucleases break down nucleic acids rather than directly making a specific DNA sequence change.
