Ultraviolet light can cause thymine dimers, potentially creating a mutation that could lead to cancer.

<h3>What  Causes Thymine Dimers ?</h3>

In a single POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAIN a pair of THYMINE residues  that have become chemically bonded by the action of ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. The lesion can inhibit DNA replication unless repaired.

Pyrimidine Dimers or thymine dimers  are usually covalent links between adjacent pyrimidine bases on the same strand of DNA.

Thymine dimers distorts the DNA shape and prevents the accurate copying of DNA, which causes mutations.

therapeutic cloning is duplicating part of a person e.g, a heart or liver,or even just a few cells true or false?
Trava [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Therapeutic cloning is the technique of using cloning procedures to generate embryonic stem cells that can be applied for the damaged organ or tissue replacement without getting the chances of any rejection. This can be achieved by putting a diploid nucleus from a body cell to a enucleated cell.  Then from that cell an identical organ can be developed.

Ulleksa [173]

False The cell cycle is a repeating series of events that includes growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division

<h3>What is cell cycle ?</h3>

During a cell's growth and division, a set of processes known as a cell cycle occur. In what is known as interphase, a cell spends the majority of its time expanding, replicating its chromosomes, and getting ready to divide. Following the cell's exit from interphase, it goes through mitosis to finish dividing.

  • These are the prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase phases. It is sometimes referred to as the sixth phase of mitosis since cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that occurs after telophase.
