EMS causes ethylation of the bases in DNA at the 7-N and the 6-O positions of G cause G:C → A:T transitions.
#Id: 644
Alkylating agents induce all types of mutations, including transitions, transversions, frameshifts, and even chromosome aberrations.
#Id: 645
hydroxylating agent hydroxylamine (NH2OH) induces only G:C → A:T transitions not reversal.
#Id: 646
When DNA is treated with hydroxylamine, the amino group of cytosine is hydroxylated.

X rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays is ionizing radiation and ultraviolet light is nonionizing radiation.
