Which of the following cells in the body are most vulnerable to the effects of the radiation?rnhair follicles cellsrnretinal (eye) cellsrnkidney cellsrnbrain cells
Accepted Answer
Hair follicle cells are the most vulnerable to the effects of radiation. This is because they are rapidly dividing cells, and dividing cells are more susceptible to damage from radiation. Radiation can damage DNA, which can lead to mutations and cell death. This damage is more likely to occur in cells that are actively dividing. Retinal cells, kidney cells, and brain cells are generally more resistant to radiation damage because they divide less frequently.
