How do mycotoxins cause problems for DNA replication?
By inhibiting the synthesis of DNA
What is the potential consequence if mutations caused by mycotoxins occur in sperm and eggs?
Existence of birth defects in the offspring
What can mutations in genes controlling the cell cycle lead to?
Uncontrolled cell growth and potential cancer development
Test your knowledge on how mycotoxins can cause cancer and birth defects through DNA intercalation and gene mutations affecting the cell cycle. Understand the potential impact on DNA replication and the risk of mutations in offspring.
