The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Mutations**: Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of an organism. They can occur naturally or can be induced by various external factors. 2. **Types of Mutations**: There are different types of mutations, including point mutations, which involve a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence. 3. **Inducing Mutations**: Certain types of radiation and chemicals can induce mutations. The question specifically asks for methods to induce mutations. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Gamma Radiation**: This is a type of high-energy radiation that can cause mutations by damaging the DNA. - **Infrared Radiation**: This type of radiation is generally not strong enough to cause mutations in DNA. - **IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid)**: This is a plant hormone and does not induce mutations. - **Ethylene**: This is a plant hormone involved in growth and development, not in inducing mutations. 5. **Conclusion**: Among the given options, gamma radiation is the only one that can effectively induce mutations. **Final Answer**: Mutations can be induced with gamma radiation. ---
