A common type of DNA damage from UV light results in:

Biology
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The damage to DNA usually occurs where there  are two consecutive thymine nucleotides on  a DNA strand. The energy from the UV light causes the two dimers to form a cyclobutane pyrimidine structure.  Proofreading and repair mechanism of DNA find it difficult to repair this kind of damage on DNA. During replication, therefore, DNA polymerase is unable to replicate this region hence leading to a mutation on the replicated strand at this local point.

How is framing contributing to the decline in biodiversity
marin [14]
All forms of farming have major impacts on biodiversity, especially when new land is brought into cultivation. Habitats are destroyed and new ecological niches created which allow typical farmland species of birds, insects, mammals and weeds to establish themselves.

If the heart becomes damaged or weakened, how will this affect the body’s systems?
jek_recluse [69]
Think of blood as a gas/ fuel for the car ( your body). If there is no fuel, there's no movement (dead) so when the fuel tank is damaged the car won't function properly. 
 So if the heart becomes damaged, or weakened it would start making blood clots and damage the organs that need blood to function properly. The circulatory system wouldn't function properly and because other organs depend on the circulatory system it would cause a chain reaction, affecting other body systems. <span />

Why are groups of small cells better than one large cell at moving material in
quester [9]

Answer:

C. They have a greater surface-to-volume ratio.

Explanation:

Because these smaller cells can access and pass through the membranes of the other cell membranes and permeable coverings easily and voluntarily unlike larger cells. It is also efficient for these smaller cells to penetrate and travel, delivering and transporting goods and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body without consuming enough energy and conserving lesser space.

For simple reasons, they are faster, more efficient and consumes little space, and most especially depletes lesser energy. So, many small cells have more surface area than one large cell.
