Question

Describe (a) somatic and (b) genetic effects of nuclear reactions ?

Answer 1

The energy in certain forms of radiation can damage living tissues; although the destruction occurs largely at the cellular level, the damage from severe exposure may be plainly visible, taking the form of burns and various types of organ failure. Although harm can occur to an exposed individual, genetic damage from radiation for subsequent generations is minimal for human beings.

Answer 2

Somatic and genetic effects of nuclear reactions:

• The nucleus is made up of chromosomes. The chromosome is made of genetic material.
• The more the genetic material is rich in gene and other protein.
• The somatic material undergo the cellular division process which is chromosomes where as the genetic material goes for transcription and translation process.
• The Transcription process is conversion of DNA to RNA and translation process is conversion of RNA to protein. Hence, final product is protein.
