Answer:

The correct answer is option A .

Explanation:

Ultraviolet radiation or UV radiation is a band of the electromagnetic spectrum of 10 nm to 400 nm wavelength present in sunlight. It is a known carcinogenic or cancer-causing agent.

Rosalind Franklin's x-ray diffraction images of DNA gave James Watson and Francis Crick information about DNA's
GuDViN [60]
Description:How an X-ray diffraction pattern is created and how the DNA X-ray diffraction pattern can be interpreted to give the dimensions. (DNAi location: Code > Finding the Structure > piece of the puzzle > Franklin's X-ray)Transcript:This is the X-ray crystallograph pattern of DNA obtained by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling in 1952. It is know as the B-form. It was clearer than the other X-ray patterns because water was included in the DNA sample. Both James Watson and Francis Crick were struck by the simplicity and symmetry of this pattern. The distinctive "X" in this X-ray photo is the telltale pattern of a helix. Because the X-ray pattern is so regular, the dimensions of the helix must also be consistent. For example, the diameter of the helix stays the same..........Keywords:x ray diffraction,x ray crystallography,rosalind franklin dna,diffraction pattern,ray pattern,s college

How do the chromosomes in most cells of an organism, such as the leaf cells of a plant, compare to the chromosomes in its reprod
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Reproductive cells have half the amount of chromosomes than body cells

Explanation:

I think that you are talking about body cells when you say "most cells in an organism." If that is the case, then the reproductive cells, sperm and egg cells, have half the amount of chromosome than body cells.

For example: Human body cells have 46 chromosomes. Human reproductive cells has 23 chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, each parent gives 1/2 of a full set of chromosomes to create the full set needed for an organism.

Can you put leave in conditioner on dry hair
Marysya12 [62]

You can, but I don't recommend it. Conditioner should only be used for damp or wet hair. If used on dry hair, it could ruin.

Hope this helps!
