Question

question 10 (1 point) what are carcinogens? a) physical or chemical factors that can lead to mutations causing cancer b) errors during dna replication c) the only source of mutations in cells d) chemical factors that can treat cancer

Explanation:

Carcinogens are substances or agents that can cause cancer by inducing mutations in cells. They can be physical (e.g., UV - rays) or chemical (e.g., tobacco smoke components). Errors during DNA replication are not carcinogens themselves, and carcinogens are not the only source of mutations. Also, they do not treat cancer.

Answer:

A. Physical or chemical factors that can lead to mutations causing cancer
