Skin cancer is a disease that occurs when skin cells grow in an uncontrolled way it can be caused by UV light, which can cause alter the genetic sequence of skin cells. which choice below is the best describes how uv light might cause skin cancer
Skin cancer is a disease that occurs when skin cells grow in an uncontrolled way. It can be caused by UV light, which can alter the genetic seq
kin cells. Which choice below best describes how UV light might cause skin cancer?
UV light changes the genetic code that makes the proteins in the skin cell. The new code changes the structure and function of these
proteins. When the proteins that control cell growth change in a way that makes them no longer work, cancer is the result.
None of the answer options
UV light changes the shape of the proteins in the skin cells. These proteins change the genes in the cell. This makes the cell grow
uncontrollably, resulting in cancer.
UV light makes skin cells grow faster. Over time, the skin cells adapt to the UV light by growing faster and faster. Eventually they grow so
that their growth is no longer controlled. This results in cancer.
