Differences in mutagen?

Post by deleted-858521 »

With both chemical and physical mutagens of any sub-type, do they tend to give specific mutations more often? As if I was to write a depth study on if one type of mutagen is better for getting positive mutations in a plant that grows fruit, would something like base analogues be hypothetically better than x-rays as a mutagen? In any case, if anyone knows where to get any related data on this subject or just lots of mutagen data, that would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. Is this related to a science fair project? This forum is focused on helping students with their science fair project.

If so, tell us more about your project. If not, there are other forums more appropriate for this discussion.

Thanks!
