Detailed explanation-1: -Infrared rays do not cause mutation, hence it will be the correct option.
Detailed explanation-2: -They can cause different types of mutations. It is a penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Among the following, the one that cannot cause mutation is Products produced by cells involved in chronic inflammation. Explanation: The mutation is defined as the sudden, heritable changes in the organisms due to changes in the number of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gamma radiation is widely used to induce mutations in breeding studies than chemical mutagens. Ionizing radiation could cause several DNA damages randomly; therefore, several mutations (from point mutation to chromosome aberrations) could be induced.
Detailed explanation-5: -When ionising radiation acts upon gonads or germ cells, it may cause damage to the genetic material (mutations) which can lead to genetically induced diseases (hereditary defects). These may result in malformations, metabolic disorders, immune deficiencies etc.
