3.In an experiment, two culture plates of the same bacteria were exposed to UV light for the same amount of time. Afterwards, one plate was exposed to visible light while the other was kept in the dark. What does UV do to the bacteria that leads to their demise? Which plate will have the better survival rate? Explain in two sentences only.
