In biology , a mutagen Latin , literally origin of change is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA , of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutation s above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer , mutagens are typically also carcinogen s. Not all mutations are caused by mutagens so called spontaneous mutations occur due to DNA error errors in DNA replication , repair and Genetic recombination recombination . Effects of mutations The changes in nucleic acid sequences by mutations include substitution of nucleotide base pair s and insertions and deletions of one or more nucleotides in DNA sequences. Although some of these mutations are lethal, or cause serious disease, many have minor effects, as the changes they cause in the sequence of encoded protein s are not significant. Many mutations cause no visible effects at all, either because they occur in intron s or because they do not change the amino acid sequence, due to redundancy information theory redundancy of codon s. On rare occasions they can create beneficial mutations, such as disease resistance, and can spur evolutionary change in a population . Genetic drift The change in a population s genetic material due to the accumulation of random chance mutations is called genetic drift , and serves as a molecular clock . In general, the more nucleotide differences between two organisms, the more time has elapsed since their last common ancestor. Though it is difficult to determine in many organisms, estimates for mutation rates have been made for both E ... of their necks to the sun.

The adaptive response is a form of direct DNA repair in E. coli that is initiated against alkylation , particularly methylation , of guanine or thymine nucleotide s or phosphate groups on the sugar phosphate backbone of DNA . Under sustained exposure to low level treatment with alkylating mutagen s, E. coli can adapt to the presence of the mutagen, rendering subsequent treatment with high doses of the same agent less effective. ref name Volkert Volkert MR. 1988 . Adaptive response of Escherichia coli to alkylation damage. Environ Mol Mutagen 11 2 241 55. ref citation for the specific cysteines? just don t want to get it backwards The adaptive response is mediated by the ada protein ada protein, which covalent ly transfers alkyl groups from the damaged DNA to one of its two cysteine amino acid residues , rendering the protein enzymatically dead. It is thus a suicide protein that reacts stoichiometric ally rather than catalysis catalytically . Methylated ada acts as a transcription factor to initiate the adaptive response, promoting the gene expression expression of related genes such as alkA, alkB , aidB, and ada itself.

wiktionary Genotoxicity describes a deleterious action on a cell s genetic material affecting its integrity. Genotoxic substances are known to be potentially mutagenic or carcinogen ic, specifically those capable of causing genetic mutation and of contributing to the development of tumors . This includes both certain chemical compound s and certain types of radiation . Typical genotoxins like aromatic amine s are believed to cause mutations because they are nucleophilic and form strong covalent bond s with DNA resulting with the formation of Aromatic Amine DNA adducts , preventing accurate replication. Genotoxins affecting sperm and eggs can pass genetic changes down to descendants who have never been exposed to the genotoxin.
