Answer:

A carcinogen is any substance that promotes carcinogenesis, which is a type of deadly cancer to humans so essentially you are asking why a cancer-causing substance is dangerous...

Carcinogens cause genetic abnormalities that become tumors. So I suppose they are really dangerous because they heavily increase the likelihood of developing cancerous tumors :)

Carcinongens usually can cause the change in the genetic information (DNA) which leads to mutation. The mutation can make the organs out of control of reproduction and cause cancer.

Explanation:

Carcinogens can be chemicals, or anything that induce cancer.

In the equation 2K+ 2H2O ---> 2KOH +H2
Law Incorporation [45]

 The much hydrogen that is  produced   is 0.02 mol  of H₂ (answer  B)

 Explanation

2K +2H₂O→ 2 KOH + H₂

 Use the mole ratio to determine the moles of H₂

 From equation above the  K :H₂  is  2:1

Therefore the moles of H₂ = 0.04 x 1/2 = 0.02  mol  of H₂

What positions in the ring of a purine nucleotide in DNA have the potential to form hydrogen bonds but are not involed in watson
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

N-1

Explanation:

All nitrogen positions in purine rings (N-1, N-3, N-7 and N-9) have the potential to form hydrogen bonds. Among them, only N-1 is involved in Watson-Crick base pairing hydrogen bond with a pyridimine. N-3 and N-7 are available to form further hydrogen bonds and N-9 is involved in a N-glycosyl linkage with a desoxyribose.
