Answer:

gamma rays

Explanation:

There are different types of radiations/electromagnetic waves within the electromagnetic spectrum. These include:

  • <em>radio waves</em>
  • <em>visible rays</em>
  • <em>X-rays</em>
  • <em>infra-red</em>
  • <em>ultra-violet rays</em>
  • <em>microwave</em>
  • <em>Gamma rays</em>

The order of arrangement according to their wavelength is:

<em>Gamma rays < X-rays < uv rays < visible rays < Infra-red < microwave < radio waves.</em>

Gamma rays has the shortest wavelength while radio waves has the longest wavelength.

The correct answer is gamma rays.

The answer is Light Waves

Light waves with shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) also have more energy, so types of light like gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light are more energetic than visible light, and infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are less energetic than the light in the visible spectrum.

A mutation in a gene that controls mitosis in cells may cause? a) cancer. b) cystic fibrosis. c) albinism. d) meiosis.
harkovskaia [24]
The answer is <span>a) cancer.

</span><span>Cells must control mitosis (cell division) in order to maintain normal cell function. If something happens to the control of mitosis, the healthy cells will divide uncontrollably. These new cells are cancer cells and they are also out of control. They will continue to divide uncontrollably, so the mass of the cancer cells will grow.
</span>Regarding other choices:
- cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder of lungs and digestive system,
- albinism is a congenital disorder characterised by the absence of pigment in the skin and hair,
- meiosis is cell division resulting in the reduction of a chromosome number in half.
