Answer:

<u><em>It penetrates the skin and can cause mutations.</em></u>

Mutagen is an agent that causes DNA mutations. UVA radiation penetrates deep into the skin and acts as a mutagen. UV light is the most common source of radiation that affects DNA, but it is a weak radiation and it penetrates only the surface cells of your skin.

Drag the pink labels onto the pink targets to identify the two main phases of the cell cycle. Then drag the blue labels onto the
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

There is no diagram provided so I will just explain the mitotic cell cycle.

Here’s a quick basic arrangement in chronological order interphase, mitosis, and finally cytokinesis.

So first you start with interphase which consist of three phases G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase. Cellular growth occurs in G1 phase of interphase this is followed by S phase which is simply when DNA replication occurs. Final this is followed by G2 phase or further growth in preparation for mitosis and/or meiosis.  

I am only going to explain mitosis but just so I don’t confuse you meiosis can also follow interphase. So mitosis consist of four phases. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Prophase: in this phase the nuclear membrane would dissipate and the chromosomes would condense.

Metaphase: then in metaphase the chromosomes would align in the center of the cell and spindle fibers or microtubules would began growth from the centrioles.  

Anaphase: by the start of this phase spindle fibers would have attached themselves to the chromosomes kinetochores. In this phase the chromatids would separate and that’s really it as you can tell this is the shortest phase in mitosis.

Telophase: finally the chromosomes would be brought to the polar opposite ends of the cell and the nuclear membrane would reform. Also the chromosomes condensed chromosomes would unravel eventually they would be invisible.

Finally the cell would enter cytokinesis were it would split at the cleavage furrow which would have started in anaphase of telophase, all a cleavage furrow is, is microfilaments “pinching the cell” which is just them pulling on either side of the center of the cell.

Where are proteins made
o-na [289]
As soon as the mRNA reached in the cytoplasm, it is fastened up by tiny protein-assembly mechanisms which is known as ribosomes. These attached ribosomes create proteins that will be castoff in the cell and proteins prepared for spread out of the cell.

A virus is made up several components. What are the components?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.
