Since the radiation has no mass .It is Gamma radiation.

Step by Step Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma radiation are as follows:

  • Gamma radiations are chargeless.
  • It is Electromagnetic wave having a very short wavelength.
  • It is not effected by the electric or magnetic field.
  • It has velocity equal to light in vaccum .
  • It has a very high intensity and can penetrate long distances.
  • It has a very low ionizing power. i.e. it does not ionize the medium in whic it travels.

Gamma radiation has proved itself to be very useful in radioactive treatment of cancer due to its high penetrating power.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is diaphragm.

Explanation:

One of the barrier methods of controlling birth is the diaphragm. It is abstemiously efficient, with a one-year failure rate of approximately 12 percent with the typical application. It is positioned over the cervix with spermicide prior to having sex and is left in position for about 6 hours post-sex.  

It is a rubber barrier that holds the spermicide against the cervix. The spring in the diaphragm's rim produces a seal against the walls of the vagina. The diaphragm covers the cervix and physically inhibits sperm from getting inside the uterus via the internal orifice of the uterus. Basically, the diaphragm has an application with spermicide, and it is broadly considered that the spermicide substantially enhances the efficacy of the diaphragm.

Answer:

c. Spindle fibers

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, the centrioles are small sets of microtubules composed of tubulin proteins. Moreover, in animal cells, a centrosome is an organelle localized near the nucleus which contains a pair of centrioles. These organelles (centrosomes) are referred to as microtubule-organizing centers. During Anaphase, centrioles move to opposite sides in the cell in order to organize the spindle fibers and separate the chromosomes during cell division.

ElenaW [278]
The best answer is B. The endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts have striking similarities to bacterial cells: 1. they have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA found in the nucleus of the cell. 2. Both organelles use their DNA for to produce many proteins and enzymes required for function. 3. They are both surrounded by a double membrane. 4. They reproduce just the way bacteria do, replicating their own DNA and directing their own division.
