Ultraviolet can damage skin cells and lead to skin cancer and damage the eyes, it can cause skin to age prematurely; X-rays damage cells inside the body. They cause dangerous ionisation and when this happens with molecules in living cells, the genetic material of a cell, the DNA is damaged.

Answer:

<em>UV rays are highly injurious to living organisms since </em><em>DNA</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>proteins</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>living</em><em> </em><em>organisms</em><em> </em><em>preferentially</em><em> </em><em>absorb</em><em> </em><em>U.V</em><em> </em><em>rays</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>it's high</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>breaks</em><em> </em><em>chemical</em><em> </em><em>bonds</em><em>. UV rays damage DNA and mutation may occur. It causes ageing of the skin, damage to skin cells and various types of skin cancers.</em>

Another application of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is to screen samples for the presence of viruses. For example, rememb
yuradex [85]

Answer:

For the 1st part, the correct answer is option C.  

In a polymerase chain reaction, the amplification of DNA template takes place not RNA. So, prior to going into the process, there is a need to initially convert RNA into DNA with the help of an enzyme reverse transcriptase.  

For the 2nd part, the correct answer is option D.  

The suitable temperature for human DNA polymerase is 37 degrees Celsius, and it gets denatured at greater temperatures. As PCR runs at exceedingly high temperature like 95 degrees Celsius, only Taq DNA polymerase can withstand the temperature. Thus, normal DNA polymerase cannot be utilized in the PCR reactions.
