Radiosensitivity
Radiosensitivity refers to the degree to which an organism or cell is sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation. It is a measure of how easily cells can be damaged or killed by exposure to radiation, and can vary widely between different types of cells and organisms. Factors that can influence radiosensitivity include the type and dose of radiation, the rate of radiation exposure, and the repair mechanisms present in the cells. Cells with high radiosensitivity are more likely to experience DNA damage, cell death, and other harmful effects from radiation exposure.
