Answer:
The toxic chemicals present in the soil can decrease soil fertility and therefore decrease in the soil yield. The contaminated soil is then used to produce fruits and vegetables, which lacks quality nutrients and may contain some poisonous substance to cause serious health problems in people consuming them.
Ans. (4). protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis can be defined as a process that involves formation of polypeptides or proteins by using information present in DNA. It is divided into two steps, transcription and translation.
During transcription, DNA is transcribed into mRNA and information present in DNA is transferred to mRNA as codons. Codons represent triplet of nucleotides and each codon codes for a specific codon.
Translation involves formation of protein, during which amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain with the help of codons.
The given diagram represents process of translation. Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
Answer:
The correct option is <em>B) ultraviolet region, especially below a wavelength of 320 nm.</em>
Explanation:
Ultraviolet light carries an enormous amount of energy in it. It is invisible to the human eye. When UV light with enormous energy and wavelength lesser than 320nm, hits the DNA, it causes changes in the structure of the DNA. Mostly, it affects the thymine nitrogenous base regions and forms pyrimidine dimers. The structure of the DNA changes on all the sites where dimers form and hence, they cannot be properly transcribed.
Explanation:
Chewing, grinding, pressing, salivating
When we chew, the tongue and the cheeks work together to constantly move the food between the teeth so that it can be chewed. The tongue presses the crushed food against the palate and moves this bolus, which is then ready to be swallowed, to the throat.
The answer to your question is B.
