Well, hello there, friend! Somatic damage happens in the cells of your body during your lifetime, like from exposure to harmful chemicals or radiation. On the other hand, genetic damage affects your DNA and can be passed down to future generations. Remember, every little mistake can be turned into something beautiful with a little bit of love and care.

What is the difference between first second and third degree burns?

The amount of damage. A first degree is usually redness and pain, a second degree burn blisters and a third degree burn destroys tissue.


What is the difference between the mercali and FRicher Scales?

mercali scale is based on observed damage caused such as proportion of buildings damaged, etc. Richter sacle is measured by the speed of movement of ground. It is a more objective measure of an earth quake magnitude.


What is the difference between an abrasion and a laceration?

quick answer: An abrasion is damage to the superficial layer of skin; in other words it is a scrape or mild cut. A Laceration is a smooth or jagged open wound; ex) cut by a knife or broken glass, etc... a more severe cut


What makes mitomycin a mutagen?

For those who do not know, mitomycin finds use as a chemotherapeutic agent by virtue of its antitumour antibiotic activity. Mitomycin is a potent DNA crosslinker. A single crosslink per genome has shown to be effective in killing bacteria. This is accomplished by reductive activation, followed, by two N-alkylations. Because the chemical can cause genetic damage to bacteria, it is possible that mitomycin can also crosslink human DNA, resulting in genetic damage.


What is the difference between caution and warning?

Ignoring a warning could result in injury to or death of personnel or long-term health problems. Ignoring a caution could result in damage to or destruction of equipment or loss of mission effectiveness. BLUF: warning is for people, caution is for equipment. That's the U.S. Army's version.

Does genetic damage affects cells but does not affect the offspring?

Most genetic damage in cells does not affect offspring because it occurs in somatic cells, which are not involved in reproduction. However, if genetic damage occurs in germ cells (sperm or eggs), it can be passed on to offspring.


What are two examples of somatic radiation damage?

Examples of somatic radiation damage include skin burns and cataracts caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.


What is the difference between brain injury and brain damage?

The difference is that one can have a brain injury and not have brain damage. Essentially, brain damage is caused by injury or trauma to the brain. However, not every injury to the brain will cause brain damage.

Would damage to somatic motor neurons impair micturition?

Damage to somatic motor neurons would not impair micturition, as micturition is primarily controlled by autonomic motor neurons. Somatic motor neurons control voluntary muscle movements, while autonomic motor neurons control involuntary functions like bladder contractions during micturition.


Explain the role of somatic cell division as a person ages?

Somatic cell division is crucial for tissue repair and maintenance throughout a person's life. As a person ages, the efficiency and accuracy of somatic cell division can decline, leading to an accumulation of genetic mutations and cellular damage. This can contribute to age-related diseases and decline in overall health.


What is the difference between 1sec and 3sec duration of short-circuit withstand capacity?

The difference between 1 second and 3 seconds is 2 seconds. In terms of short-circuit withstand capacity, it can mean the difference between no damage and damage occurring to the equipment and wiring. Heat rises extremely fast in a short-circuit situation, and you want your protective device to trip before damage is done.


What is the difference between a bone break and a sprain?

A sprain is damage to soft tissue, a broken bone is damage to hard tissue.


Can a claims adjuster tell if your car damage is from hitting a car or from getting hit by a car?

Yes, it is possible. Good, well trained adjusters are capable of determining the difference between "striking" damage and "struck" damage.


What is the difference between comprehensive and third party insurance?

Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your own vehicle as well as third-party damage, while third-party insurance only covers damage to others.


Is gene multiplication often done through genetic parasites which could cause genetic damage to the cell?

yes


What causes between 80 percent to 90 percent of cancers?

1) Genetic predisposition to cancers 2) Dietary intake of foods, toxins, and chemicals leading to cellular/genetic damage or activating oncogenes or hindering cancer suppression genes 3) Environmental influences of toxins, chemicals, and radiation (all responsible for cellular/genetic damage...again, leading to activation of oncogenes or hindering of cancer suppression genes
