3 What causes DNA mutations?
Random-DNA replication is very complicated and sometimes mistakes occur. Radiation- The energy in radiation can actually break or damage nucleotides in a DNA strand UV rays Chemical Exposure- Chemicals can break or damage bonds between nucleotides in DNA Ethidium Bromide

4 UV Radiation UV Radiation causes breaks in the DNA strands that can result in cancer

5 UV Radiation Causes Mutations
