EFFECT OF RADIATION ON (DNA)



                              • The                  macromolecule                             of


                                  Deoxyribonucliec                       Acid          (DNA)

                                  consists of two spiral strand

                                  twisted around one another to

                                  form the double helix.







                              • The strands are made up of


                                  alternate phosphate and sugar

                                  group, attached to each sugar

                                  group is a nitrogenous base.
