DNA damage so that DNA repair can be carried out , and triggering apoptosis if the damage cannot be repaired , thus preventing mutations from spreading . Tumor suppressor genes are actually transcription factors that are triggered by DNA or cellular damage , such as ultraviolet irradiation or oxygen deprivation , which often result in loose genetic material that ultimately lead to the activation of Tumor suppressor genes . Tumor suppressor genes , however , are also subject to mutation damage , which results in the inhibition of DNA...

However , there is dearth of scientific information as to how exactly this cell mutation is achieved by UV radiations . Several explanations have been offered , and some of these will be examined here . On his part , Gilchrest and colleagues (1999 ) contend that considerable studies addressing the contributions of sun light wavelengths - UV-B wavelengths - 290-320 nm and UV-A wavelengths - 320-400 nm in photocarcinogenesis , especially as it affects the development of skin cancer , has been carried out . The authors suggest that UV-B radiation...
