How does radioactive pollution cause somatic variation?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The functions of living tissue are carried out by molecules, that is, combinations of different types of atoms united by chemical bonds. Some of these molecules can be quite large. The proper functioning of these molecules depends upon their composition and also their structure (shape). Altering chemical bonds may change composition or structure. Radioactive radiation is powerful enough to do this.
