Induced Mutation
Although mutations are changes in an organism’s DNA, some do not cause panic and do not attract research interest. This is because such mutations are not spontaneous, instead, they are induced, hence, expected.
Therefore, induced mutations are mutations that arise after purposeful treatment with mutagens. Their cause is known, therefore, there is no panic, and researchers are not inquisitive about carrying out studies on such mutations. Evolutionary, they are irrelevant since such can still be repeated and similar results achieved.
An example is in exposing several organisms to different ranges of X-rays to assess the effect of the exposures on the organisms. Any result obtained from the exposures will not cause panic because they were anticipated, hence, induced.
Let us meet at the next academic meal.
Thank you
Thank you so much sir
Waw!!, Interesting as it is briefly explained.
Thank you
But sir I have a question?
Since the mutation is induced, can’t it cause variation in the genetic makeup of the genes,as regards to the researchers not panicking about it.
It is because of the change in genetic makeup that made it mutation..
Okay sir thanks
You have done well…
Yes sir.
But can this be called artificial mutation, And the previous natural mutation
No… Not artificial mutation. Thanks
Thanks very much sir for the concise writing well understood.🙌
Thanks for reading… Am happy you understood it..
