The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mutations**: - Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of an organism's genome. They can occur naturally or can be induced by various agents. 2. **Types of Inducers**: - Mutations can be induced by physical mutagens (like radiation) and chemical mutagens (like certain chemicals). 3. **Physical Mutagens**: - Gamma radiation and X-rays are examples of physical mutagens. They have high energy and can cause significant changes in the DNA structure. 4. **Specific Examples**: - Gamma radiation is known for inducing mutations at a high frequency even at low doses. - Other forms of radiation, such as infrared radiation, do not have the same mutagenic effects as gamma rays. 5. **Effects of Radiation**: - Radiation can lead to various types of mutations, including large-scale mutations such as deletions, insertions, and chromosomal rearrangements. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the information provided, the correct answer to the question "Mutations can be induced with" is **gamma radiation**.
