Question 1: How and what cross linkage by alkylating agents.
Answer:
Alkylating agents utilize selective alkylation by adding the desired aliphatic carbon chain to the previously chosen starting molecule. This is one of many known chemical syntheses. Alkylating agents are a highly reactive group of electrophiles which transfer methyl, ethyl or alkyl groups to the electron-rich atoms in the DNA and demage it.
