Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

X-rays can cause breaks in DNA molecules by damaging the sugar-phosphate backbone. This can result in single-strand breaks or double-strand breaks, which can be harmful to the cell or organism. Thymine dimers are caused by UV radiation, not X-rays.	X-rays can make some molecules radioactive, but they do not make DNA radioactive. X-rays do not have an effect on lipopolysaccharides.
