Answer and Explanation:
A gene is a section of DNA. The change in the sequence of the DNA is known as mutation. Mutation always changes the sequence of the DNA. Sunlight can cause mutation. Sunlight produces structures named thymine dimers. Thymine dimers produce twist in the shape of DNA. These twists make DNA hard to copy, which can lead to mutation. It is essential to use sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays to prevent thymine dimers from emerging in our cells. The US Food and Drug Agency recommends an SPF (sun protection factor) to defend against skin aging and skin cancer. X-ray radiation is a form used in x-rays. The energy level of the X-ray radiation is very high that can produce free radicals. Free radicals can steal electrons from DNA that can cause mutation. By using medical images, we can decrease exposure to X-rays. Less exposure to X-rays prevents mutation and also prevents the production of gene protein in other body parts.
Surface area is an important factor in limiting cell growth because
a. the cell can burst if the membrane becomes too large.
b. materials cannot enter the cell if the surface is too large.
c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.
d. waste products cannot leave the cell if the cell is too small.
Answer:
c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.
Explanation:
The exchange of substances with surroundings is done by cells by the process of diffusion. The rate of diffusion of substances requires the presence of a higher surface area than volume. As the cells become larger, their surface area is reduced with respect to the volume. Therefore, larger cells can not support the diffusion of substances in and out as required for its proper functioning. If cells are allowed to grow continuously, they will not be able to intake the requires materials such as food and to release the waste outside.
