Answer:

DNA is most succeptible to radiation.

Explanation:

DNA is most succeptible to radiation because;

  • The radiations may break the Double strand of DNA.
  • Base pairs of DNA or sugar phosphate backbone may be broken down by  radiations (X-ray, aplha and beta particles).
  • The hydrogen bonding between nitrogen bases may be affected by radiation.

The radiations may cause mutations in DNA which effect the cell survival or correct replication.

Answer:

A. DNA.

Explanation:

Mutations which are either acquired or somatic, are the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of a DNA.

These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division.

The issue of high cholesterol can sometimes run in families. If an individual has two normal alleles, then he is phenotypically
statuscvo [17]
In the case of the gene that determines high cholesterol in the blood, the two alleles express incomplete dominance.
What this means is that the dominant allele is not completely dominant over the recessive allele. If the allele was completely dominant, even one allele would be enough to determine the individual's trait as dominant. But in the case of incomplete dominance between the alleles, the heterozygous individuals that have one dominant and one recessive allele are an ''in between'' phenotype.
