Detailed explanation-1: -Ultraviolet (UV) light induces specific mutations in the cellular and skin genome such as UV-signature and triplet mutations, the mechanism of which has been thought to involve translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) over UV-induced DNA base damage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Main Types of UV-Induced Mutations UV damage occurs via two distinct types of mutations: dimerizing and oxidative.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some of the common examples of mutagens are-UV light, X-rays, reactive oxygen species, alkylating agents, base analogs, transposons, etc.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mutagens – Physical, Chemical and Biological Mutagenic Agents.
Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of mutagens include tobacco products, radioactive substances, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation and a wide variety of chemicals. Exposure to a mutagen can produce DNA mutations that cause or contribute to certain diseases.
