Answer:
exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a correct answer.
Explanation:
Ultraviolet light exposure results in the formation of pyrimidine dimers. Ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA by resulting in chemical changes.
Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases( cytosine and thymine in DNA) and result in the formation of covalent bonds between the succeeding bases.
The formation of the pyrimidine dimers results in the distortions of DNA helix and disrupt the base-pairing during the replication of DNA which results in a mutation.
Answer:
Chemical weathering
Explanation:
Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.
Chemical weathering involves the decomposition of rocks due to chemical reactions between minerals such as calcite with water and gases in the atmosphere (e.g. carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide). The solution of soluble minerals is particularly important in limestone landscapes.
Solutional caves or karst caves are the most frequently occurring caves. Such caves form in rock that is soluble; most occur in limestone, but they can also form in other rocks including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt, and gypsum.
Essentially, water reacts with carbon-dioxide to form carbonic acid. It then seeps slowly through the roof of the cave, depositing calcium carbonate, which hardens and builds up over time to form a stalactite.
Chromosomes condense during prophase
Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
The given statement is false. the selection process used by the rancher is an example of artificial selection and not natural selection.
Artificial selection is defined as the selection process done by humans on the basis of desirable characters while in natural selection the selection is based on the adaptive characteristics of animals. In the given example rancher choses a desirable character of chicken that lays more eggs.
Hence, the given statement is "false".
... increase their chances of displaying this said attribute in higher incidence and frequency
