Cockroaches would out-survive humans when being exposed to increased levels of radiation. However, most other insects can out-survive cockroaches, and some microbes can out-survive insects. A reason most insects can endure high levels of radiation is that their cells divide less frequently. Radiation interferes with the way cells divide. Every division multiplies the damage caused by radiation. If a cell divides less frequently, accumulation of damage will occur with less speed. Insects are thus less affected by radiation.

How do cockroaches survive natural disasters?
Cockroaches are able to survive natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes due to their ability to sense danger and quickly find shelter. They have a resilient exoskeleton that can protect them from physical impacts, and they can go without food and water for extended periods of time. Additionally, cockroaches have a high tolerance for extreme conditions, allowing them to adapt and survive in various environments.
Can cockroaches get into a hermetically sealed container?
No, hermetically sealed containers are airtight and should prevent entry of cockroaches or any other pests. Cockroaches require oxygen to survive, so without any air inside the container, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Where did the Japanese nuclear explosion occur?
The only nuclear explosions in Japan were the two in WW2, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.However I believe you meant the Japanese nuclear reactorexplosion, which was not a nuclear explosion it was either a steam explosion and/or a hydrogen/oxygen chemical explosion. That occurred at Fukushima.
Will you go blind if you watch a nuclear explosion?
Directly watching a nuclear explosion can cause temporary or permanent blindness due to the intense light emitted during the explosion. The light can overwhelm the retina, causing burns and potentially leading to blindness. It is advised to avoid looking directly at a nuclear explosion and seek shelter instead.
Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
Can a scorpian survive a nuclear explosion?
No cockroaches are one of the few organisms able to survive nuclear explosions. Scorpions cannot.
Will a cockroach survive a nuclear explosion?
Cockroaches are known for their resilience and ability to survive extreme conditions, but it is unlikely that they would survive a nuclear explosion due to the intense heat, pressure, and radiation levels produced. The blast would likely be lethal to them.
Will chickens survive a nuclear bomb?
Noboby can survive a nuclear bomb if he is within explosion distance.
Can bugs like insects such as cockroaches survive nuclear bombs?
There is a possibility for a cockroach to live and die. A cockroach will die from the initial blast, meaning the cockroach will die from the fiery explosion. A cockroach will survive the radiation of the blast, but not the actual blast itself.
Would lawyers survive a nuclear war?
Cockroaches would survive a nuclear war. Since lawyers are an even lower life-form they should too.
What insects can survive a nuclear blast?
A direct nuclear blast - nothing. However it is said that cockroaches would possibly survive radiation where other animals would be killed.
How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself
If a cockroach die by stomping on it how can it live through a nuclear explosion?
cockroaches don't die if u stomp on them and you are talking about beatles
If nuclear war takes place wll cockroaches survive?
Yes, it has been proven and tested that cockroaches will survive. Their resistances to radiation are extremely high, and that's one of the reasons they survived when the dinosaurs didn't.
Is a cockroache a decomposer?
cockroaches eat things Bacteria decompose them
Is it a cockroach or a scorpion that is the only thing that can survive nuclear wipe out?
The Cockroaches shell protects it from nuclear bombs, so in other words the cockroach.
Why do cockroaches survive a nuclear bomb?
The radiation LD50 of most insects is far higher than the LD50 of mammals.
