Question

What is most likely to occur when an individual is exposed to UV radiation?
A)The melanocytes will produce melanin,the melanin is distributed into epidermal cells,a steroid is converted into vitamin D and stem cells can mutate leading to cancer.
B)The melanin will produce melanocytes,the melanocytes are then distributed into epidermal cells,a steroid is converted into vitamin D and stem cells can mutate leading to cancer.
C)The melanocytes will produce melanin,the melanin is distributed into dermal cells,a steroid is converted into vitamin D and stem cells can mutate leading to cancer.
D)The melanocytes will produce melanin,the melanin is distributed into epidermal cells,vitamin D is converted into a steroid and stem cells can mutate leading to cancer.

Accepted Answer

Melanocytes produce melanin, which is distributed into epidermal cells to protect against UV radiation. UV exposure also helps convert a steroid into vitamin D, and excessive exposure can lead to mutations in stem cells, increasing cancer risk.
