<span>Depletion of the ozone layer. Choloroflourocarbon (CFCS) are dangerous because of their destructive reaction with Ozone particles, which provide the Earth with a protective layer or shield against UV radiation. Depletion of the ozone layer begins when when CFC gets into the stratosphere. Sunlight breaks up cfcs releasing Chlorine Atom. Chlorine atoms in turn react with Ozone, starting a chemical cycle that destroys the ozone layer in that area. Once the ozone layer is depleted, there's nothing holding back the harmful UVB wavelengths of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere causing havoc on plants and animals.</span>

What might be the result if you shuffle the order of bases in an organism's DNA<br> molecules?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It would have disastrous consequences on the viability of the individual

Explanation:

The genome can be defined as the genetic material of an organism, which is composed of DNA molecules named chromosomes whose building blocks are four different nucleotides: Adenine, Thymine, Cysotcine and Guanine. The order of these nucleotides specifies the information contained in the chromosomes and, ultimately, in the genome. The genes, which are recognized to be the basic units of inheritance, are genetic sequences composed of ordered nucleotides along the chromosomes. During transcription, a gene encodes different RNA codons (for example, start and stop codons) which are specified by the order of the nucleotide sequence. Finally, the order of the RNA codons will be critical to specify the polypeptide chain during the translation from RNA to protein.

creativ13 [48]
The correct answer is letter C, in most primates, the inability to move the ear has been replaced by the ability to stand upright on two legs. This is because movement was much of a need to these primates than hunting for food. They needed to be agile to locate specific places where sources of food are abundant.
