Explain why Calix’s cells having more DNA than a normal cat meant point mutation was not the cause.
Answer: Mutation is the reason for the more DNA in Calix’s cells.
Calix’s cells having more DNA than a normal cat because of the mutation in the genes. There is no other way through which DNA in a gene increases. This increase in DNA from a normal condition leads to cancer and other disorders.
Mutation occurs in an organism when they are exposed to radiation which damaged the DNA of that organism so we can conclude that mutation is the reason for the more DNA in Calix’s cells.
