Relative Biologic Effectiveness(RBE) Question 4: What are considered to be the most radioresistant phases of the cell cycle?
Answer:
Mid-to Late S-phase
Question 5: What occurs if the initial ionizing incident takes place on a distant noncritical molecule, which then transfers the ionization of energy to another molecule?
Answer:
Indirect Interaction Question 6: What refers to the enhancement of therapeutic or detrimental effect of ionizing radiation due to the presence of oxygen?
Answer:
Oxygen Enhancement Ratio(OER)
Question 7: Nonthreshold
Answer:
Assumes that any radiation dose produces an effect Question 8: According to the target theory, what is considered to be the critical target in the cell?

Answer:
Base Damage

relationship between dose and effect:
Answer:
Linear Dose-Response Curve
