5 0

Answer:

exposure to ultraviolet radiation is a correct answer.

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light exposure results in the formation of pyrimidine dimers. Ultraviolet radiation damage the DNA by resulting in chemical changes.

Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases( cytosine and thymine in DNA) and result in the formation of covalent bonds between the succeeding bases.

The formation of the pyrimidine dimers results in the distortions of DNA helix and disrupt the base-pairing during the replication of DNA which results in a mutation.

The steps in the process of endochondral ossification are a: Ossification center forms in the diaphysis b: Cartilage calcifies a
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

During the development of the fetus, the mechanism by which the mammalian skeletal system gives rise to tissues of the bone is termed as endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification also plays an essential role at the time of the development of the long bones length, rudimentary generation of the long bones, and healing of bone fractures naturally.  

The following are the steps in the process of endochondral ossification:  

f. The development of the cartilage model.  

b. The calcification of cartilage takes place and the formation of bone collar occurs.  

a. In the diaphysis, the formation of the ossification center takes place.  

c. In the epiphysis, the formation of ossification centers takes place.  

d. Replacement of cartilage takes place by the bone.  

e. Ossification of epiphyseal plates takes place.

mars1129 [50]
There are 6 molecules of O2.



"O2" is the formula for one molecule oxygen, which has 2 atoms.

The subscript (small) "2" tells you how many atoms are in the molecule.

The coefficient is the big number tells you the number of molecules.

In 6O2, there are 12 atoms in total (6 molecules of 2 atoms each).
