Today we discussed the reasons for which radiation (electromagnetic and corpuscular) can act as a mutagen, and what are the most common sources of radiation for an average citizen of the U.S.
We then listed the different categories of mutagen chemicals and how they affect DNA.
We started discussing the kinds of mutation that can occur (indels vs. substitutions, frameshift vs. non-frameshift), and their potential effect on phenotype.
