Because it is in the beginning stages of development.
Answer:
There are several factors and logical consequences at work:
- Radiation has its greatest impact on cells when they are dividing and multiplying.
- Fetal cell division is happening rapidly.
- Radiation has more opportunities to interact with the division (cause damage) because cell division is occurring rapidly.
- Since a cell damaged early in the development has several subsequent cell generations present, the damage can be cumulative with more damage occrring
What else can I help you with?
Who is more sensitive to radiation male or female?
Men
Are cells that divide rapidly more sensitive to radiation?
No, they are just as sensitive as any other cell.
Cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing are most sensitive to radiation damage.
What cell type is most sensitive to radiation damage?
Cells that are actively dividing, such as those in the bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract, are most sensitive to radiation damage because they are constantly replicating and thus more susceptible to the effects of radiation.
Are children more sensitive to radiation?
Children are generally more sensitive to radiation than adults because their cells are dividing and growing at a faster rate, making them more vulnerable to damage. Additionally, children have smaller bodies and organs, which tend to absorb more radiation compared to adults. It is important to limit children's exposure to radiation to reduce the risk of long-term health effects.
Which part of the human body is more sensitive to radiation?
It all depends on the organs. Those cells, tissues and organs, where theres lots of division are most sensitive to the harmful effects of radiation at high levels of exposure, including the skin, the gut mucosa, hair follicles and so forth...
Which of the cell types are most sensitive to radiation damage?
Rapidly dividing cells like stem cells, bone marrow cells, and intestinal cells are most sensitive to radiation damage due to their high rate of cell division, making them more susceptible to DNA damage. Cells in the skin and mucous membranes are also highly sensitive to radiation.
Why are cancer cells more sensitive to radiation than nerve cells?
Because Prof.Kodjo thought so

Which of the following cell types are at least sensitive to ionizing radiation damage?
All of the following cell types can be sensitive to ionizing radiation damage: Stem cells: can be more sensitive because they are actively dividing. Rapidly dividing cells: such as those in the skin, digestive tract, and bone marrow. Cancer cells: due to their increased rate of cell division compared to normal cells.
How much radiation is needed to go through body?
Hardly any at all. New advances in technology enable the film to be more sensitive to radiation. A chest xray has less radiation than walking to your car in the parking lot in summer.
Is radiation more harmful to normal cells than to cancerous cells?
Radiation can harm both normal and cancerous cells, but because cancerous cells are often more sensitive to radiation, they may be more likely to be damaged or killed by radiation therapy. Normal cells can repair themselves more effectively than cancerous cells, which helps protect them from the effects of radiation.
