Outline the effect of CFCs on the ozone layer.

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
8 0
The ozone layer is a stratospheric region composed of Ozone (Triatomic Oxygen) 

CFC´s (Chlorofluorcarbons) are broken down by ultraviolet radioation to release chloride ions wich react with ozone breaking it down into oxygen.

One chlorine atom can destroy 100.000 ozone molecules - smallamounts of CFC can break down large amounts of ozone.

The thinning of the ozone layer by CFCs reduces the absorption of UV light in the stratosphere

A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a ___
joja [24]

Answer: A segment of dna/chromosome containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

Explanation:

CHROMOSOMES are made up of two threads called chromatids joined at a point called the centromere.

In the chemical nature of chromosomes, each is made up of a protein framework which has a long molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled round it. A segment of DNA containing the instructions for building a protein which will result in a trait is called a GENE.

The GENES in the cell of a diploid organism contain all the necessary instructions for building up the organism.These instructions are written on a molecular scale.. Most genes contain information to direct the synthesis of specific proteins. Each such protein takes part in the development of a particular character.

A protein is made up of one or more chains of amino acids known as polypeptides. The sequence of bases in a DNA molecule determines the type of amino acid and the sequence in which they are arranged in a polypeptide chain.

A gene therefore is a sequence of triplets of the four bases which specifies the structure of a protein
