Oftentimes UV light can cause the genetic code of an organism to mutate, leading to a variety of errors, some of which are not compatible with life.

UV light is considered to be a mutagen. What this means is that the exposure of cells to UV light often leads directly to a mutation in the genetic code of that cell. This correlation has been studied extensively and shown to affect the nucleotides of DNA, which are:

  • A base (adenine)
  • T base (thymine)
  • G base (guanine)
  • C base (cytosine)

The exposure to UV light causes the base nucleotides in the DNA of an organism to oxidize. This oxidization causes the base pairs to form dimers. Most often the dimer formed is of a <u>thymine base</u>. This can be thought of as the fusion between two thymine bases, which will alter the frame in which DNA is read and <u>cause all sorts of abnormalities</u>.

Gunther touched a hot object and received a minor burn. How did the skeletal system help prevent further damage?
Umnica [9.8K]
Hello to answer your question correctly.

The skeletal system helped him move his hand away from the hot object. Because the skeletal system reacted by sending a message to the brain saying that was hot and dangerous thus causing the movement of the hand.

Water is a universal solvent because it can be a solid, liquid, or a gas * True or false??
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Yes! ( True )

Explanation:

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge

) is every minimum bottleneck tree of g a minimum spanning tree of g? prove or give a counter example
mote1985 [20]

The answer is false. To explain further, let G have vertices {v1, v2, v3, v4}, with ends between each pair of vertices, and with the mass on the edge from vi to vj equal to I + j. Then each tree has a bottle neck edge mass of as a minimum of 5, so the tree containing of a track through vertices v3, v2, v1,v4 is a least bottleneck tree. It is not a least spanning tree, though, subsequently its total mass is greater than that of the tree with edges from v1 to every single vertex.
