According to my research‚ skin color is largely determined by the amount of melanin the skin produces. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than light-skinned individuals. At least three genes regulate the amount of melanin produced. Each gene has two forms: dark-skin allele (A‚ B‚ and C) and light-skin allele (a‚ b‚ and c). Neither allele

Constant. This energy is absorbed‚ dispersed‚ and reflected by the atmosphere; beaming its radiation to earth’s ground. Almost half of this energy is visible light‚ approximately half is infrared radiation‚ and a very small portion of it is ultraviolet radiation. There are many ways to convert this energy. Some use it to heat their water and homes; some convert it to Electrical Energy. Most of the world’s energy needs have been met by converting solar energy into its electrical or mechanical forms

Abstract: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and its detrimental effects on plant life have been widely researched. This research studies the effects of UV radiation on sex-determination in Ceratopteris richardii. Sex determination in Ceratopteris richardii is determined by antheridiogen‚ a pheromone that promotes maleness. In this experiment‚ UV radiation was used on the wild type and mutants Her1‚ which are insensitive to the male-inducing pheromone (does not form male gametophytes). Ceratopteris richardii

Long-term effects include cataracts and loss of night vision. In both cases‚ the damage is caused by ultraviolet (UV) light‚ which literally burns the surface of the cornea. Sunglasses were originally invented to reduce distracting glare and allow more comfortable viewing in bright light. Early sunglasses were simply tinted glass or plastic lenses that were

Basal Cell Carcinoma‚ or BCC‚ is the most common form of skin cancer‚ and when early detection occurs‚ there is a high rate of achieving a cancer free outcome. This form of cancer progresses slowly after many years of over exposure to sunlight‚ and or radiation. People with light‚ fair skin have been linked to more cases of Basal Cell Carcinoma. It generally starts on the face‚ neck‚ or even on the top of
