Bentyl is a prescription drug licensed to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). By blocking specific receptors in the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, the medication can help relieve the painful spasms associated with IBS.
When ionizing radiation causes DNA damage (mutations) in male or female reproductive (ggerm h) cells, that damage can be transmitted to the next generation (F 1).This is in contrast to mutations in somatic cells, which are not transmitted. Detection of human germ cell mutations is difficult, especially at low doses.hen ionizing radiation causes DNA damage (mutations) in male or female reproductive (ggerm h) cells, that damage can be transmitted to the next generation (F 1).
Point mutations may arise from spontaneous mutations that occur during DNA replication. The rate of mutation may be increased by mutagens. Mutagens can be physical, such as radiation from UV rays, X-rays or extreme heat, or chemical (molecules that misplace base pairs or disrupt the helical shape of DNA).f a mutation is present in a germ cell, it can give rise to offspring that carries the mutation in all of its cells. This is the case in hereditary diseases. In particular, if there is a mutation in a DNA repair gene within a germ cell, humans carrying such germline mutations may have an increased risk of cancer.
