The ozone layer of earth's atmosphere to filter uv radiation. as the ozone layer is depleted, more uv radiation reaches earth's surface. this increase in ultraviolet radiation may be harmful because it can directly cause a) mutations in the dna of organisms b)abnormal migration patterns in waterfowl c) photosynthesis to stop in all marine organisms d) sterility in most species of mammals and birds

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.

This class has taught you that the use of science and medicine in practical ways has become an international endeavor. one of the greatest examples of an international science accomplishment is which allows the profiling of human dna, useful not only to science but also medicine. a) forensic science b) the fbi c) the human genome project d) bioterrorism

Which plate boundary causes plates to collide forming mountain ranges, volcanoes, and island arcs? give an example of this type of plate boundary. 2. at which plate boundary do rifts and mid-oceans ridges form? give an example of this type of plate boundary. 3. at which plate boundary do plates slide past each other while moving in opposite directions? give an example of this type of boundary.
