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.

Which microscope would be used to observe surface structure of corona virus?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

SEM ANSWER

Explanation:

Electron microscopy is a powerful tool in the field of microbiology. It has played a key role in the rapid diagnosis of viruses in patient samples and has contributed significantly to the clarification of virus structure and function, helping to guide the public health response to emerging viral infections. In the present study, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the infectious cycle of SARS-CoV-2 in Vero E6 cells and we controlled some key findings by classical transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). The replication cycle of the virus was followed from 1 to 36 h post-infection. Our results revealed that SARS-CoV-2 infected the cells through membrane fusion. Particles are formed in the peri-nuclear region from a budding of the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus complex into morphogenesis matrix vesicae. New SARS-CoV-2 particles were expelled from the cells, through cell lysis or by fusion of virus containing vacuoles with the cell plasma membrane. Overall, this cycle is highly comparable to that of SARS-CoV. By providing a detailed and complete SARS-CoV-2 infectious cycle, SEM proves to be a very rapid and efficient tool compared to classical TEM.

Babies at high risk for stunted growth, poor health, and impaired functioning throughout life are dealing with the results of
Elodia [21]
<span>Malnutrition. Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person's intake of nutrients. The baby is not getting a balanced diet to meet its bodily needs, and that's why the baby is at high risk of the mentioned above. If a child is undernourished, especially below 2 years of age, it may result in permanent problems with physical and mental development, and since early childhood is an important period for cognitive, behavioral, and physical development, a nutritious diet is the most important factors for ensuring a child reaches optimal development.</span>

inessss [21]

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are producers

Squid are secondary consumers

Leopard seals are quaternary consumer

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons are producers because this are small plants that produce their own food by the process know as photosynthesis

Consumers are organisms that depends on plants for survival. They cannot produce their own food like plants. Fish are primary consumers because they eat plants. When Squids eat fish , squid is considered a secondary consumer because they eat  the primary consumer.

Leopard seals are quaternary consumer because they are at the top of the food chain or the tertiary consumer. They eat the primary and the secondary consumer
