which agent would cause the least damage to a chromosome?
radiation
ultrasound

chemicals

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ultrasound uses high - frequency sound waves. These are non - ionizing and do not have enough energy to break the chemical bonds in DNA (which is part of chromosomes). Radiation (in general, ionizing radiation), X - rays (ionizing radiation), and chemicals (mutagens) can all cause more significant damage to chromosomes. Ionizing radiation can break DNA strands, and chemicals can cause mutations by reacting with DNA bases.
