Question

Which effect of acute exposure to radiation would likely not be seen for a while?

vomiting

skin burns

headaches

sterility

Answer 1

Of the effects listed, sterility would likely not be seen for a while following acute exposure to radiation. While symptoms like vomiting, skin burns, and headaches can occur relatively quickly after exposure, sterility (especially in females) may take longer to manifest, as it often requires time for the effects on reproductive cells to become apparent.
