Which of the following statements accurately describes melanin's function? Melanin is a molecule that distinguishes humans from their primate relatives. Everyone has the same type of melanin, but the amount varies from person to person. The more melanin an individual has in his or her skin cells, the more likely he or she is to get mutations in DNA. Lighter skin has less of the dark-brown eumelanin that protects cells from UV damage.

Which of the following is correct about ultraviolet radiation (UV)? Ultraviolet A (UVA) has a shorter wavelength than Ultraviolet B (UVB). Ultraviolet B (UVB) penetrates less deeply but causes more damage than Ultraviolet A (UVA). Tanning booths use mostly Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. All exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is bad and must be avoided at all costs.
