Q: What kind of radiation can be used to disrupt the dna-rna protein synthesis cycle that allows bacteria to reproduce?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Bacterial contamination in our food often makes the news. There are many bacteria present on raw food, especially raw meat. Campylobacter (pictured above), salmonella, and other microorganisms can be found, even after cooking if the meat has not been sufficiently exposed to the heat. Ionizing radiation can be used to disrupt the DNA-RNA-protein synthesis cycle that allows the bacteria to reproduce. Cobalt-60 is a common radiation source, as is cesium-137. But, just to be safe, order that burger well-done.

 Choices:

- microwave

- non-ionizing

- infrared

- ionizing


A:
ionizing
