Answer: ... in the UVB light exposure.

Explanation: When DNA is exposed to UVB radiation, thymine bases that are close to each other in the genetic sequence bond together, and this bond <u>cannot be copied</u> by the enzimes responsible for reproducing the genetic material. In the skin, it causes sunburns and stimulates the production of melanin. Luckily, DNA is only damaged by 0,1% of those UVB radiation photons, but even this percentege is enough to cause a sunburn anyway.

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called ________ exposure assessment
stira [4]

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called cumulative exposure assessment.

<h3>What is cumulative exposure?</h3>

Because cumulative exposure evaluations evaluate exposure to numerous stressors via different pathways, they are referred to as "combined exposure assessments." Exposures to a single stressor are estimated using aggregate evaluations from different sources and pathways.

Cumulative evaluations portray real-world exposure more accurately, but they also provide an element of complexity not seen in typical exposure assessments , which evaluate stressors separately.
