Mutation Induced

Induced mutation - M., caused by the action of mutagens. Mutations that occur under the influence of external or internal factors are called induced.

Induced mutations can be either beneficial or harmful to the body. For example, plants that are exposed to ultraviolet rays may develop mutations that provide more effective protection against harmful radiation. However, if the mutation is too strong, it can lead to reduced yield or even death of the plant.

In medicine, induced mutations are also used to treat certain diseases. For example, gene therapy uses viruses that contain genes that encode proteins needed to repair damaged cells. After the virus is introduced into the body, cells begin to produce these proteins, which promotes tissue repair.

However, it should be noted that induced mutations are not always safe and may have negative consequences for human health or the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of possible risks and choose the most effective treatment methods with the fewest side effects.

**Inducible mutation** - M. caused by exposure to mutagens (causing changes in the genetic structure). M. and. is the effect of physical and chemical agents on morphologically normal cells (or individuals) that leads to the formation of new high-frequency phenotypic variants. The impact of artificial origin is a relatively recent phenomenon in evolution, research of which began to be carried out only in the 20th century. Most geneticists attribute
