Like our immunity system gets stronger against usual viruses and bacterias, can we evolute to grow more immune to radiation during generations? (I know it’s different things and responses, it’s just an example)
If yes, how?
If not, why?
In: Biology
If by “radiation” you mean the ionizing radiation found as a result of radioactivity, it’s entirely possible. It’s actually already happened in Cryptococcus Neoformans, a fungus that’s been found growing in the shattered remains of Chernobyl reactor 4 that seems to be using the radiation there as a food source. (Please note that I don’t mean the remains of the reactor building, I mean it’s growing in the highly radioactive remains of the *reactor itself*.)
