When we talk about evolution we come across the process of natural selection. Genetic variation is always required for the natural selection. A change or variation in the genes may help the individuals in a population to better adapt to the environment. Such changes may be brought by mutations or random mating in the population. Such variations help in the survival of the population by allowing them to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Hi. excuse me sorry but i cant see your question. do you think you could post it again, please?
thank you
Answer and Explanation:
A gene is a section of DNA. The change in the sequence of the DNA is known as mutation. Mutation always changes the sequence of the DNA. Sunlight can cause mutation. Sunlight produces structures named thymine dimers. Thymine dimers produce twist in the shape of DNA. These twists make DNA hard to copy, which can lead to mutation. It is essential to use sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays to prevent thymine dimers from emerging in our cells. The US Food and Drug Agency recommends an SPF (sun protection factor) to defend against skin aging and skin cancer. X-ray radiation is a form used in x-rays. The energy level of the X-ray radiation is very high that can produce free radicals. Free radicals can steal electrons from DNA that can cause mutation. By using medical images, we can decrease exposure to X-rays. Less exposure to X-rays prevents mutation and also prevents the production of gene protein in other body parts.
The answer is C) transmit genetic information
