In these study C.elagans were used as a organisms model to analysis that these mutations may have in complex organisms.In this study it was investigated how different environmental toxins and pharmacy derivatives could damage the genetic material and thus lead to numerous diseases. In this study the C.elegans were exposed to chemicals that regularly affect humans and it was found that most of these cause great damage to the DNA of these organisms. Several techniques of DNA reconstruction were also evaluated. The C.elegans in this study played a very important role because all these results found in them lead us to future studies of diseases and how to cure them in
