A.true (Yes we are! Though the amount is so small that it really has no major effect on us. This radiation does cause some genetic mutations if it encounters the DNA of the cell, but there are many other possible sources of mutations that make it hard to clearly blame a given mutation on radiation at the levels due to ordinary daily exposure.)

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

We are indeed exposed to radiation from the radioisotopes on a daily basis. I We are exposed to I-131 in the thyroid profile test. we exposed to technetium- 99 m in the diagnosis of cardiac issues. There are a lots of naturally occuring isotopes found in soil, water that reach our body through food and water in small quantities.
