Radiation influence on the human body


Radiation influence on DNA


DNA is the substance which forms the informational code of all life. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and a human's cells include sixt trillion strends of DNA. DNA's structure is a double helix so if DNA is changed, it recovers with self-restoration abilities. However, if DNA is exposed to radiation, its atoms become radical. Radical atoms cause a big chemical reaction so it breaks the DNA such that it. If DNA breaks, it maybe create cancer cells that cause incorrect genetic information,to be passes along.
