Question 8 of 10
A greater amount of DNA damage occurs when a living organism is exposed
to a greater amount of a radioactive isotope. How might this affect the
number of mutations acquired by the organism?
A. More mutations will be acquired, leading to more phenotypic
changes.
B. The number of mutations will be the same because the same
isotope was used.
C. Fewer mutations will be acquired, leading to fewer phenotypic
changes.
OD. There will be no mutations because damaged DNA is always
repaired perfectly.
