Answer:

Ultravoilet radiations (UV rays).

Explanation:

Sunburn is caused by the Ultravoilet radiations, either cause from the sun or the artificial source like welding arcs and tanning lamps etc. Ultravoilet radiations is a type of electromagnetic radiations with wavelength 10nm-400nm. It is present in the sunlight and contributes 10% output from the sun. It is a reaction of the body to direct DNA damage from UVB light.

Uv radiations is a powerful attack on the skin, and may cause skin cancer. It can also cause eye problems, they can cornea to become inflamed or burned.

The ________ a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.

densk [106]

The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
