Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exposure to certain chemicals, such as carcinogens, is known to increase the likelihood of mutations in genetic material. Smoking can also increase the risk of mutations because it exposes the body to various chemicals, but exposure to specific mutagens is more likely to produce mutations than general exposure to harmful substances. High-fat diets and vitamin deficiencies are not directly linked to increased risk of mutations.
