A scientist thinks that a certain chemical is a mutagen. She exposes plant cells to a large amount of this chemical in the laboratory. Which statement best provides evidence that the substance is a mutagen?
The cells die within hours of being exposed to the chemical.
The cells grow more quickly than those that were not exposed to the chemical.
The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.
The cells continue to divide at the same rate as before they were exposed to the chemical.

The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

Explanation:

A mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene in a cell as caused by mistake during replication or induced by a mutation causing substance. These mutation-causing substances are called MUTAGEN.

A MUTAGEN is any substance that causes genetic mutation in an organism's cell. These changes in the nucleotide sequence can affect one or more phenotypic characteristics of the affected organism, which is also passed to offsprings because it is a genetic change.

Hence, a plant cell exposed to this mutagen will be induced to mutate.

Hence, the cells changing after being exposed to the chemical, which is also passed to the next generation of cells best provides explanation that the chemical is a MUTAGEN.

chemical because it warmed up which involves temperature and it bubbled which includes changing

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
