Question 3 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 1 - Flex

Which is the most efficient way to avoid DNA mutations from UV radiation?

Answer
A
Avoid getting X-rays at the doctor’s office.
B
Avoid protective shields during X-rays.
C
Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen.
D
Avoid UV radiation by using a tanning bed.

Explanation

UV radiation can damage DNA in skin cells and cause mutations. Wearing sunscreen helps reduce the amount of UV radiation that reaches the skin, so “Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen” is the most effective choice. X-rays are a different kind of radiation, and tanning beds expose skin to UV radiation rather than preventing it.
