Two types of mutagens are considered here which are mostly affected the humans producing different mutations resulting in a number of abnormalities: 1. Radiation Exposure 2. Chemical Mutagenesis. Type # 1. Radiation Exposure: High energy radiation or ionising radiation produces a genetic alteration or mutation at a very low dose also. It has been shown […]

In this article we will discuss about the chemical and physical types of mutagens. 1. Chemical Mutagens: Singer and Kusmierek (1982) have published an excellent review on chemical mutagenesis. Some of the chemical mutagens and mutagenesis are given in Table 9.3, and described below: i. Base Analogues: A base analogue is a chemical compound similar […]
