King Leopold II treated the Congo as his personal property and exploited the country for slave labor, rubber, and ivory. The Belgian Congo was established in 1908 after the international community pressured the Belgian government to annex the country and take it out of the king's hands. Conditions in Belgian Congo improved as the Belgian government supported education and established trade. Nevertheless, the people of the Congo increased their demands for independence.

Explanation:

The DNA hyperchromic effect can be defined as the absorbance of radiation or light by the nitrogen bases of DNA. This phenomena is effective when the DNA is in single stranded condition. For observing the hyperchormic effect the DNA is required to be denatured at high temperature or by increasing the level of pH.

The two strands of the DNA when get separated the absorbance of the DNA solution also increases. This results due to reduction in the base-base interaction and hence, increases the absorbance of light like UV by the bases.
