Which type of radiation effect results in radiation induced thyroid cancer?
(A) Somatic (B) Genetic (C) Teratogenic (D) Autosomal
(A) Based on the object that shows the effects:

Somatic Effects: 
	These are biological effects that occur on the exposed individuals. Somatic effects can be of 2 types.
	
Prompt somatic effect occur after an acute dose.
		Eg: Temporary hair loss occurs about three weeks after a dose of 400 rad to scalp.
Delayed somatic effects are those that occur years after radiation doses are received.
		Eg: Increased potential for development of cancer and cataracts.


Genetic or heritable effects:
	Appear in the future generations of the exposed person as a result of radiation damage to reproductive cells.
