Studies have shown that children are especially vulnerable to the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Tanning beds expose the

skin to nearly ten times as much UV radiation as natural sunlight. With that knowledge, a law was passed in some states to prevent individuals under the age of 18 from using tanning beds. Which statement best explains why UV radiation is so harmful?
a) It can increase harmful DNA mutations in cells.

b) Diseases are all caused by exposure to environmental factors.

c) Homeostasis in an organism is increased by the presence of UV radiation.

d)UV Radiation decreases the likelihood that mutations will occur.

Hello there!!

The answer, I think, would be A.

UV radiation can create problems in the correctness of cell replication, which can result in mutated cells.

I hope this answers your question!

What evidence is there that the 15 species of finch all evolved from one common ancestor?
antoniya [11.8K]
Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. This illustration shows the beak shapes for four species of ground finch: 1. Geospiza magnirostris (the large ground finch), 2. G. fortis (the medium ground finch), 3. G. parvula (the small tree finch), and 4. Certhidea olivacea (the green-warbler finch) the Grants measured beak sizes in the much-reduced population, they found that the average bill size was larger. This was clear evidence for natural selection of bill size caused by the availability of seeds. The Grants had studied the inheritance of bill sizes and knew that the surviving large-billed birds would tend to produce offspring with larger bills, so the selection would lead to evolution of bill size. Subsequent studies by the Grants have demonstrated selection on and evolution of bill size in this species in response to other changing conditions on the island. The evolution has occurred both to larger bills, as in this case, and to smaller bills when large seeds became rare.

Phytoplankton are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. How do they affect the global carbon cycle?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are microscopic creatures that are primary producers of oceans. Phytoplanktons take carbon dioxide from atmosphere to make their food and then they are eaten by some other animals of oceans.

Phytoplanktons are present in huge numbers in oceans and have a great contribution to the carbon cycle because it is responsible for the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the oceans.  

Most of the carbon is released through combustion by animals that eat phytoplanktons but some accumulate in the ocean floor because some dead phytoplanktons settles down in the ocean.

Describe the background and basic issue of designer babies
S_A_V [24]
  <span>  The  first designer baby was created in the U.S. in 2000. Doctors used screening techniques to test the embryos of Lisa and Jack Nash. They chose the embryos that would be an exact cell match to their daughter Molly. Molly suffers from a genetic disorder called Fanconi Anemia which causes bone marrow deficiency. The embryo selected did not carry the disease and was a perfect tissue match. <span>As a result, Adam Nash was born in August after Mrs. Nash underwent four IVF cycles. Stem cells were collected from his umbilical cord to be donated and used to replace Molly's bone marrow. (Baby created to save older sister)Since the creation of Adam, many more couples have created their own designer baby to save their sick child or prevent their offspring from inheriting a certain genetic disease. </span></span>
