Light is one of the fastest growing pollutants for the natural environment which is created by humans. The impact of light on animals is negative which are active during day, crepuscular or nocturnal species also have influence in their general behavior. The DNA of the living organisms is encoded according to the Earth’s natural rhythm of day and night. Scientific evidences have shown negative as well as deadly effect on plants, insects, birds, mammals etc. The plant and animal physiology is negatively impacted by the artificial light and specially the nocturnal species by altering the predator-prey relationship, migratory pattern of birds and animals is affected and the humans also have serious health effects. Light pollution basically interferes with natural biological activities of plants and animals according to the biological clock.

How do cigarettes and radiation cause cancer? View Available Hint(s) How do cigarettes and radiation cause cancer? by destroying

blagie [28]

Answer: B. by toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation that can damage the DNA in cells.

Explanation:

The carcinogens presents in cigerates covalently bind to DNA and form DNA adducts which results into miscoding (e.g., insertion of the wrong base) during replication of DNA and this genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cellular growth which causes cancer.

Ionising radiation including X-rays, radioactive particles, and gamma rays,can cause cancer by damaging DNA. high-energy radiation damages DNA and cause genetic mutation same as cigerates and causes cancer.

Both toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation damages DNA inthe cells which leads to cancer.

Hence, the correct option is B.
