Genetic mutations caused by carcinogenic effects. Ex: Sun damage causes DNA to deform, therefore inhibiting proper function of cells(such as cell suicide when needed) causing skin cancer. Another ex:, nuclear bombs cause A LOT of DNA mutations when an individual survies screwing up normal cell activity
