Solution(By Examveda Team)

The chemical mutagens usually induce Gene mutation.
Chemical mutagens work mostly by inducing point mutations. Point mutations occur when a single base pair of a gene is changed. These changes are classified as transitions or transversions.
Mutations can occur through alterations of single bases in the DNA, or by loss or rearrangement of large sections of DNA.
