Answer:

Option B, increased exposure to UV light increases the risk of a mutation occurring

Explanation:

Ultraviolet radiations (UV) coming from the sun are radioactive waves that affect the skin. They not only cause skin infection, irritation, but are are also potential source of cancer causing agent . Some times these radiations on prolonged exposure  causes genetic mutations in the skin cells which continues though ages.

Ultraviolet rays are short wavelength radiations and the shorter is the wavelength of any radiation, the greater is the potential harm caused by it.

Hence, UV rays are harmful.

Option B is correct

Describe the effect that sickle cell anemia has on the sedimentation rate (sample 3. why do you think that it has this effect?
Eva8 [605]
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition that distorts the shape of the hemoglobin. This reduces the capacity of the red blood cells to carry oxygen. Another effect is that the distorted red blood cells come together forming a heavy and compact collection of cells that can block the flow of blood. The sedimentation rate is increased by sickle cell anemia.

During gene expression, the dna-to-rna step is known as , while the rna-to-protein step is known as _____.
zlopas [31]

During the process of gene expression, the DNA to RNA step is known as transcription while the RNA to protein step is known as translation.

Gene expression is a process which involves the synthesis of a functional gene product by using the information present in the genes.

Transcription is a process which involves the synthesis of a RNA from the DNA. In eukaryotic cells, the transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas in prokaryotes the transcription occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Translation is the process by which the RNA is converted into a protein. The translation in prokaryotic cells occurs in the cytosol of the cell whereas in eukaryotic cells, the translation occurs in the ribosomes.
