Answer:

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutagen is part of genetics, it is chemical or physical agent which are present in atmosphere and causes changes or mutation in the genetic materials i.e. in DNA (these changes can be permanent as well). Example of mutagen are radioactive substances, ultraviolet radiation, etc.

UV radiation is an electromagnetic radiation which is present in sunlight. It is a strong mutagen which is when absorbed by DNA can cause extreme damage, for example, uncontrolled division of skin cell can cause skin cancer, that's the reason why UV radiation is the most common mutagen to which we are exposed to when we are outside in the sunlight.

Answer:

The measure of the third arc is $150\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

Let

x----> the greater arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

y----> the smaller arc of the circle intercepted by the secant and the tangent

$42\°=\frac{1}{2}(x-y)$

$84\°=(x-y)$ ----> equation A

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{3}$

$x=\frac{7}{3}y$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$84\°=(\frac{7}{3}y-y)$

$84\°=(\frac{4}{3}y)$

$y=3*84\°/4=63\°$

Find the value of x

$x=\frac{7}{3}(63\°)=147\°$

step 2

Find the measure of the third arc

Let

z------> the measure of the third arc

we know that

$x+y+z=360\°$ -----> complete circle

substitute the values and solve for z

$147\°+63\°+z=360\°$

$z=360\°-(147\°+63\°)=150\°$
