The UV radiation in sunlight can damage organisms. A new study reveals that female zebrafish deposit a chemical sunscreen into their eggs to protect their developing embryos, a feat that has been lost in fish species whose embryos never experience sunlight.
阳光中的紫外线辐射会对生物体造成伤害。一项新的研究表明，雌性斑马鱼会在其卵子中沉积一种化学防晒霜，以保护正在发育的胚胎，而那些胚胎从未经历过阳光的鱼类则已经失去了这种能力。
