I think the proactive stance is a better attitude to promote than after-the-fact worrying! When planning a long week of sunbathing on the beach,What type of DNA damage should sunbathers be aware of before hitting the beach?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sunbathers should be aware of thymine dimers, which occur when UV light causes covalent bonds to form between adjacent thymine molecules in the DNA strand. This type of DNA damage can lead to mutations and increase the risk of skin cancer. Photolyase-induced mutations and activation of uvr A,B, and C genes are involved in repairing DNA damage, and decreased telomere length is associated with aging rather than sun exposure.
