Answer;
This is because greenhouse gases prevent heat which is received from the sun from being radiated out into space. 

Explanation;
Green house gases are gases that are emitted into the environment that are capable of absorbing infrared radiation, and thus trapping and holding heat in the atmosphere. The increase of heat in the atmosphere contributes to higher temperatures and causes the greenhouse effect, which results to global warming. Examples of these gases include, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and CFCs among others.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B) ultraviolet region, especially below a wavelength of 320 nm.</em>

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light carries an enormous amount of energy in it. It is invisible to the human eye. When UV light with enormous energy and wavelength lesser than 320nm, hits the DNA, it causes changes in the structure of the DNA. Mostly, it affects the thymine nitrogenous base regions and forms pyrimidine dimers. The structure of the DNA changes on all the sites where dimers form and hence, they cannot be properly transcribed.
