Question

question 9 of 25
high exposure to which type of electromagnetic radiation can cause genetic mutations?
a. microwaves
b. infrared
c. visible light
d. ultraviolet

Explanation:

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has enough energy to damage DNA. When DNA is damaged, it can lead to genetic mutations. Microwaves, infrared, and visible light have lower - energy photons compared to UV radiation and do not have the ability to cause genetic mutations through direct DNA damage in the same way as UV radiation.

Answer:

D. Ultraviolet
