The two principal gonadotropins in vertebrates are luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), although primates produce a third gonadotropin called chorionic gonadotropin (CG). LH and FSH are heterodimers consisting of two peptide chains, an alpha chain and a beta chain.H and FSH are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, while hCG and eCG are secreted by the placenta in pregnant humans and mares, respectively. The gonadotropins act on the gonads, controlling gamete and sex hormone production.
Anything that can bring about a mutation in DNA is called a mutagen. Most mutagens fall into one of two categories: They are either a form of energy or a chemical. In addition to X rays, other forms of radiation that can cause mutagens include ultraviolet radiation, gamma rays, and ionizing radiation.
  A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene.   There are two ways in which a DNA mutation can occur:   1) Mutations can be inherited.This means â¦ that if a parent has a mutation in his or her DNA, then the mutation is passed on to his or her children.   2) Mutations can be acquired.or example, this can happen during crossover during the formation of gametes. Substitution mutations happen when one nucleotide (the smallest unit of DNA) is replaced by another. These are caused by a number of chemicals that look like something in between both of those nucleotides.
