source of UV rays. UVA rays age skin cells and can damage their DNA resulting in wrinkles, and play a role in some skin cancers. Most tanning beds give off large amounts of UVA, increasing risk of skin cancer. UVB rays have a little more energy than UVA rays and directly damage skin cells’ DNA. They are also thought to cause most sunburns and skin cancers. UVC rays have the most energy, butbut they get trapped in our atmosphere. They do not usually cause skin cancer. The amount of damage…

According to most researchers skin color first evolved from the Africans when they migrated to Asia and Europe. Human skin color is very diverse; it ranges all the way from dark brown to white. The Human Genome Project is one of the most known experiments to help scientists map the genome both physically and functionally. Human skin acts as a physical barrier that protects chemical and…
