Answer:

Mutations on DNA that can lead to skin cancer and other skin problems

A Pyrimidine dimer is a molecular lesion that causes mutations that can lead to melanomas and skin sensitivity. It is caused by a photochemical reaction after the exposition of DNA to ultraviolet light.

These mutations happen on thymines or cytosines and can be repaired by a photolyase, an enzyme that adhere the dimers.
