Answer: ... in the UVB light exposure.

Explanation: When DNA is exposed to UVB radiation, thymine bases that are close to each other in the genetic sequence bond together, and this bond <u>cannot be copied</u> by the enzimes responsible for reproducing the genetic material. In the skin, it causes sunburns and stimulates the production of melanin. Luckily, DNA is only damaged by 0,1% of those UVB radiation photons, but even this percentege is enough to cause a sunburn anyway.

Can someone explain eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells like you’re talking to a 5 year old?
Fed [463]

Eukaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The nucleus is where DNA, your genetic material, is usually stored. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. The DNA just floats around the cell instead of staying in one designated area.

Y_Kistochka [10]

During human gestation, rudiments of all organs develop in the first trimester.

<h3>What is the first trimester?</h3>
  • Most people (including your doctors and midwives) divide a full-term pregnancy, which lasts about 9 months, into three 'trimesters'.
  • The first trimester of pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last period to week 12, even though you are pregnant from the moment of conception, when a male sperm fertilizes your ovum (egg), when you become pregnant.
  • This is so that the majority of women who conceive naturally won't be aware of the conception date.
  • Because the changes that occur to you and your unborn child fall into the three general categories of early, middle, and late pregnancy first, second, and third trimesters are a useful way to think about pregnancy.
