5 0

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.

I only have an answer for number 24, I'm sorry! But one piece of evidence is the DNA sequences, they have discovered that humans and monkeys/apes share a common ancestor through DNA. Another would be fossils, scientists have fossils to show great similarities in the skull and jaw structure, along with the legs, comparing to humans.
