1. DNA (2nd Half) ChallengeThere are 20 questions – 5 from each DNA topic covered As a group, quietly discuss each question and agree upon one correct answer. The group with the most correct answers will win.

2. #1 Mutations: 1 point Because agents such as UV radiation is known to cause DNA errors, it is an example of a _______.
