Biology Question on Environmental Issues
Which is the cause of damage to relative biological effectiveness:
A
High Temperature
B
Pollution
C
Radiation
D
Low Temperature
Answer
Radiation
Explanation
Solution
Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) is a concept commonly used in radiation biology to quantify the relative effectiveness of different types of ionizing radiation in causing biological damage. It helps to compare the biological effects of various types of radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and alpha particles, in terms of their impact on living organisms.
So, the correct option is (C): Radiation
