Question

Many scientists study how genetic mutations affect humans and other organisms. Which of the following is not likely to cause DNA mutations?

Answer 1

Gene variants, as they relate to genetic disorders, are classified into one of five groups:

Pathogenic: The variant is responsible for causing disease. There is ample scientific research to support an association between the disease and the gene variant. These variants are often referred to as mutations.
Likely pathogenic: The variant is probably responsible for causing disease, but there is not enough scientific research to be certain.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS or VOUS): The variant cannot be confirmed to play a role in the development of disease. There may not be enough scientific research to confirm or refute a disease association or the research may be conflicting.
Likely benign: The variant is probably not responsible for causing disease, but there is not enough scientific research to be certain.
Benign: The variant is not responsible for causing disease. There is ample scientific research to disprove an association between the disease and the gene variant.

Answer 2

Infrared rays

Step-by-step explanation:

Infrared rays do not cause mutation, hence it will be the correct option.
