The statement that best describes how radiation causes mutations is:
Radiation breaks down DNA bonds, and the cell repairs the bonds incorrectly.
This reflects the reality that radiation can cause damage to DNA, and when the cell attempts to repair this damage, it can sometimes do so inaccurately, leading to mutations.
