During elongation of RNA or synthesis of DNA, nucleotides are joined in chains by chemically joining the 5’ phosphate group of one nucleotide to the 3’ hydroxyl group of the next nucleotide. Cordycepin triphosphate is similar in structure to the adenosine triphosphate hence is incorporated in elongation chain during transcription and replication. <span>However, due to its lack of the 3’OH moiety (that is required for elongation), the replication or transcription is unduly terminated.</span>

Which is the most efficient way to avoid DNA mutations from UV radiation?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The most effective way to prevent DNA mutation from UV radiation is: (C.) Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen.

Mutation is the change in the normal sequence of DNA. The agents that induce these mutations are called mutagens. The mutations can be harmful as they can hamper the normal functioning of the living body. Some mutations however do not cause any significant changes and they are therefore called silent mutations.

Sunscreen is a a cream or liquid applied to the skin that prevents the harmful radiations of the sun to enter the body. They protect from the sun's UV-A and UV-B radiations.

In which ways is photosynthesis important to life on Earth? Check all that apply. makes food for all organisms. adds oxygen to t
ladessa [460]

The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.
