How does the dna repair enzyme photolyase prevent skin cancer?

Biology

Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
3 0
I think the enzyme photolyase is activated by light and can repair thymine dimers caused by UV radiation. Exposure to UV radiation is the main factor that causes skin cells to become cancer cells. These enzymes are involved in the repair of ultraviolet light-induced DNA damage when activated by light absorption.

in pea plants, purple flowers (p) are dominant over white flowers (p). Show the cross between two heterozygous plants
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

       <em>P      p</em>

<em>P</em>    PP   Pp

<em>p    </em>Pp    pp

PP=Homozygous purple

Pp= heterozygous purple

pp=homozygous White

Explanation:

I tried to type out the cross. The bold letters are the heterozygous  plants that you are crossing. and the normal letters are the offspring of the two heterozygous parents being crossed. Heterozygous means they are different alleles. Homosygous means the same alleles are present.

heterozygous= Pp

Homozygous= PP or pp

I hope this was the answer you were looking for!

Which of the following is not a potential concern associated with the use of biotechnology?
Alik [6]
<span>The option which is not a potential concern associated with the use of biotechnology is the production yields of GM foods, whereas the other options are quite dangerous when you think about them. Genetic ownership means that somebody could steal your genes and use them for cloning, which is another option here. Trainsgenic foods also have to be kept safe, so as to stop someone from messing with them. The production yields of GM foods is not the problem, the problem is whether that food is healthy or not.</span>
