OpenStudy (photon336):

hmm. prions.. It says for those that they contain protein, but protein can't exist without genetic material, because genetic material leads to---> protein. I think it's that too

is it okay if i ask you another question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ultraviolet radiation is a biological hazard as it damages DNA. Sunburn is actually the result of your skin cells self destructing as a result of damaged DNA.
