Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemicals that bind to DNA by intercalating between the bases can cause frame shift mutations, deletion mutations, and insertion mutations. These chemicals are generally planar hydrophobic molecules that disrupt the normal base pairing of DNA. Therefore, all of the above options are true.
