In genetics lab this semester we characterized Lac-mutants. These mutants were created via exposure to UV light orEthyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

Compare and contrast these two mutation methods. What types ofmutations do they cause?

What are the types of repair mechanism that are in place to dealwith these types of mutations? How does the repair mechanism(s)work?

If you wanted to induce more deleterious mutations, what mutagenwould you use? Defend your answer including the mechanism of actionfor this mutagen. (Be sure to cite your references for thisquestion.)
