Biology
1 answer:
enot [183]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b. neither DNA replication nor transcription can occur, and the bacteria will probably die

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light (UV) is a powerful mutagenic agent that produces thymine dimers among contiguous base pairs. These dimers are highly stable, and thus DNA repair mechanisms are inefficient. UV light is particularly harmful to bacteria and viruses. It is for that reason that UV is used to sanitize by damaging such pathogens, avoiding them from multiplying and consequently also inhibiting transcription.

What is the thin layer of endothelial tissue that lines the inner surface of the heart and the valves called
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Endocardium

Explanation:

The endocardium makes the innermost lining of the wall of the heart. It is present over the thin layer of connective tissue. The function of the endocardium is to provide a smooth lining for the chambers of the heart. The valves present in the heart also have endocardium. The dense connective tissue of the heart valves is covered by endocardium.

The presence of the smooth endocardium made up of endothelium reduces the surface friction as blood passes through the heart. The endocardium of heart chambers is continuous with the endothelial lining of the large blood vessels that are attached to the heart.
