The 11 pages that link to Mutagenesis, each with the reason it gives.

• DNA damageRelated: Unrepaired or incorrectly repaired damage can become a mutation.

• CarcinogenicityRelated: Mutations can fix carcinogen-induced DNA damage into lasting changes.

• Directed evolutionRelated: It creates the genetic diversity that selection can act on.

• Alkylating agentRelated: Misreading or misrepair of alkylated bases can create mutations.

• George BeadleRelated: Beadle and Tatum used X-rays to generate mutants for their nutritional tests.

• NitrosamineRelated: DNA lesions from activated nitrosamines can produce mutations if unrepaired.

• Christiane Nüsslein-VolhardRelated: Chemical mutagenesis generated the fruit-fly variants that made her screens possible.

• Ethidium bromideRelated: Intercalation can disrupt DNA replication and promote mutations.
