The radiation effect is the direct heat exchange between the body and the surrounding surfaces.

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy to affect the atoms in living cells and thereby damage their genetic material (DNA). Fortunately, the cells in our bodies are extremely efficient at repairing this damage. However, if the damage is not repaired correctly, a cell may die or eventually become cancerous.

Exposure to very high levels of radiation, such as being close to an atomic blast, can cause acute health effects such as skin burns and acute radiation syndrome (“radiation sickness"). It can also result in long-term health effects such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Radiation can interact with DNA directly and cause damage by breaking bonds in the DNA or indirectly by breaking water molecules surrounding the DNA. When these water molecules are broken, they produce free radicals–unstable oxygen molecules that can damage cells and organs.

Once a cell is damaged, three things can happen.

  1. The cell repairs itself. The cell would then go back to normal.
  2. The cell damage is not repaired or is incorrectly repaired, so the cell is changed. This change may eventually lead to cancer.
  3. There is too much damage to the cell, and the cell dies. Cell death is not always a bad option.
  • If a few radiation-damaged cells die, your body will recover and you do not have the risk of those cells potentially turning into cancer.
  • However, widespread cell death, such as that caused by high radiation doses, can lead to organ failure and, ultimately, death.

Explain how body cells (somatic) and sex cells (gametes) are made up from chromosomes?
lana [24]

゚+*:ꔫ:*﹤  ﹥*:ꔫ:*+゚Answer:゚+*:ꔫ:*﹤  ﹥*:ꔫ:*+゚

Somatic cells are produced through the cell division process of mitosis. ... Cells with two copies of each chromosome are called diploid. Sperm and egg cells, called gametes, are formed through meiosis, which is a slightly different cell division process that results in the cells having only one copy of each chromosome.

゚+*:ꔫ:*﹤  ﹥*:ꔫ:*+゚Explanation:゚+*:ꔫ:*﹤  ﹥*:ꔫ:*+゚

Human body cells (somatic cells) have 46 chromosomes. A somatic cell contains two matched sets of chromosomes, a configuration known as diploid. ... Human cells that contain one set of 23 chromosomes are called gametes, or sex cells; these eggs and sperm are designated n, or haploid.

Compare and contrast the photic and midnight zone.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

In an oceanic environment the photic zone is the zone where light can be received it's usually from 0 to 200 m deep but this depth can be modified by the turbidity of the water. The aphotic zone is the zone where no light is receives it goes from 200 to the bottom of the sea.
