Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is an inherited recessive disease, this means two recessive alleles are present in an individual from their parents. This disease impairs the ability of the body to repair DNA which is damaged mainly by Ultraviolent light as well as various chemical Carcinogens. ” The most common forms of DNA damage occurs via the cross linking of adjacent pyrimidines resulting in the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs)” (1) for example UV light will often make two T 's…

In 1947, scientists discovered the Zika virus while collecting samples from monkeys in Uganda’s Zika Forest to track yellow fever.
