The answer is True: Most skin cancer is caused by UV sun radiation which damages DNA.

Explanation:

  • True: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a major cause of skin cancer. It can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that may result in cancer. This is well-documented in scientific literature and is a primary reason for the emphasis on sun protection to reduce skin cancer risk.
  • False: This option is incorrect because it contradicts the established understanding that UV radiation is a significant factor in the development of most skin cancers.

In summary, the statement is true because UV radiation is a well-known cause of DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer.

There are three sets of sketches below, showing the same pure molecular compound (ammonia, molecular formula NH3) at three different temperatures. The sketches are drawn as if a sample of ammonia were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Only one sketch in each set is correct. Use the slider to choose the correct sketch in each set. You may need the following information: melting point of NH3: -77.7°C boiling point of NH3: -333°C
