Question

which is the most efficient way to avoid dna mutations from uv radiation?
○ avoid getting x - rays at the doctor’s office.
○ avoid protective shields during x - rays.
○ avoid uv radiation by wearing sunscreen.
○ avoid uv radiation by using a tanning bed.

Explanation:

X-rays are a different form of radiation than UV, so avoiding X-rays or misusing X-ray shields does not address UV-induced DNA mutations. Tanning beds emit UV radiation, which increases mutation risk, not prevent it. Sunscreen blocks UV radiation, directly reducing DNA damage from UV exposure.

Answer:

C. Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen.
