Abstract
DNA is known as the genetic material in cells. Various environmental factors can cause DNA damages. One of them is sunlight. The life on earth depends on the sunlight, but on the other hand, the UV light in sunlight can cause skin DNA damages. When these damages are not fully repaired before replication, they can lead to mutations of oncogenes and tumour suppressor gene and result in photo carcinogenesis, in the end, skin cancer.(omitted)
