Answer:

Melanin is a skin pigment.

Explanation:

Melanin is a skin pigment that is present in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis. Melanin may help protect the skin from Ultraviolet rays. Increasing in the concentration of melanin may block processes in the body that lead to skin cancer. Ultraviolet light kills cells by damaging their DNA. The light starts a reaction between two molecules of thymine which is one of the bases that is responsible for the formation of DNA molecule. Melanin has the ability to absorb Ultraviolet light which automatically protects skin cells. The presence of melanin in the skin decreases the rate of skin cancer diseases around the world.

What are operant conditioning therapies??
vovikov84 [41]
Operant Conditioning Therapy:

     Using the principles of operant conditioning (reward and punishment), psychologists can set up token economies with their client. Tokens (objects with no worth) are rewarded for good behavior and can be exchanged for something in the future. This is often a technique used with children.

Behavioral contracting occurs when the therapist draws up a contract specifying the responsibilities and behavioral expectations of each party, and obliging each party to live up to their terms of the contract. The client must follow the instructions of the therapy and the therapist in turn will give the client certain things.
