<h2>Ultraviolet (UV) Light</h2>

Explanation:

  • <em>Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI)</em> is a purification technique that  inactivate microorganisms and the short wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to execute by destroying nucleic acids and upsetting their DNA, leaving them incapable to vital cellular functions.
  • <em>Ultraviolet (UV) light kills cells damaging their DNA</em>
  • <em>The subsequent thymine dimer is very stable,</em> however fix of this sort of DNA harm for the most part by extracting or expelling the two bases and filling in the holes with new nucleotides is fairly efficient.
  • UV light applies its mutagenic impact by energizing <em>electrons in atoms</em>
  • <em>The excitation of electrons in DNA atoms regularly brings about the development of extra bonds between contiguous pyrimidines (explicitly thymine) in DNA</em>

An allele is: A. the particular combination of genes for a given trait in a given organism. B. one of several forms of a gene. C
irinina [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of a gene from each parent. This form received by each parent is called an ALLELE. An allele is the variant form of a gene for a particular trait.

For a diploid organism, two copies of genes (alleles) are acquired by an organism. The combination of these alleles from each parent determines the genotype for that gene.

In Mendel's experiments, he discovered that one allele can mask the expression of another for a trait. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these alleles, whether two dominant or two recessive called HOMOZYGOUS or one dominant and one recessive called HETEROZYGOUS, determines the phenotype of the organism for that gene.

N.B: There are exceptions to this pattern of inheritance.

What happens during G2 phase
Rudiy27

Answer:

Gap 2 (G2): During the gap between DNA synthesis and mitosis, the cell will continue to grow and produce new proteins. At the end of this gap is another control checkpoint (G2 Checkpoint) to determine if the cell can now proceed to enter M (mitosis) and divide.
