Question

what are examples of different types of mutagens?
□ micronutrients
□ macronutrients
□ infectious agents
□ radiation
□ chemicals

Explanation:

Mutagens are agents that cause mutations. Infectious agents (like certain viruses), radiation (e.g., UV rays, X - rays), and chemicals (such as some industrial chemicals, cigarette smoke components) can all alter the DNA sequence, thus acting as mutagens. Micronutrients (e.g., vitamins, minerals) and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) are essential for normal body functions and do not typically cause mutations.

Answer:

C. infectious agents, D. radiation, E. chemicals
