The right answer is A.

The term "hormonally active agent" (or endocrine disruptor) refers to any molecule or compound chemical agent, xenobiotic having hormono-mimetic properties and described as a cause of physiological abnormalities, and in particular reproductive abnormalities. Some examples are PCB, TCDD, DDT. Some of them were used as pesticides and are now banned for use. Their traces always exist at the soil level due to their persistence.

These agents are most often associated with breast cancer.

A scientific study looked at the effect of tanning beds on DNA damage. The scientists took skin cells and exposed them to UV rad
forsale [732]

Answer:

Tanning of DNA using UV light at different time (1 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes)

Explanation:

Independent variable is the variable that was controlled or change and in this case it is the tanning of DNA with UV light at different times and the dependent variable is what is measured or the effect of the change in the independent variable which is DNA damage and the control was the cells that did not receive the treatment.

Identify the independent variable.
qaws [65]
Dependent and independent variables are variables in mathematical modeling, statistical modeling and experimental sciences. Dependent variables receive this name because, in an experiment, their values are studied under the supposition or hypothesis that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of the experiment in question; thus, even if the existing dependency is invertible (e.g., by finding the inverse function when it exists), the nomenclature is kept if the inverse dependency is not the object of study in the experiment. In this sense, some common independent variables are time, space, density, mass, fluid flow rate[1][2], and previous values of some observed value of interest (e.g. human population size) to predict future values (the dependent variable).[3]
Of the two, it is always the dependent variable whose variation is being studied, by altering inputs, also known as regressors in a statistical context. In an experiment, any variable that the experimenter manipulates[clarification needed] can be called an independent variable. Models and experiments test the effects that the independent variables have on the dependent variables. Sometimes, even if their influence is not of direct interest, independent variables may be included for other reasons, such as to account for their potential confounding effect.

List the three primary components of the axial skeleton.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Three primary components of axial skeleton are skull, vertebral column and ribs.

Explanation:

Axial skeleton forms the central axis f the body. Three primary component of axial skeleton are:

Skull: Skull protects the brain and supports the face structure. Twenty two bones are present in the skull. Two main categories of skull bone are cranial bone and facial bone.

Vertebral column: Vertebral columns support and protects the spinal cord. The vertebral column serves as the attachment site for the muscles and neck.

Ribs cage: Ribs cage is also known as thoracic cage and includes the structure of sternum, ribs, coastal cartilage and thoracic cartilage. Ribs consists of twelve bones.

Describe a chemical and physical change with an example for each
Bad White [126]
A chemical change is a change in which the composition of the matter is changed at the molecular level, most chemical changes are not easily irreversible, for example, an egg being cooked, the egg changes from its liquid like state to a solid, and it is not possible to revert it back to its original change. The egg itself is changed in this case.
A physical change on the other hand however, is only changing the substance of a matter, not its composition, this is usually easily reversible. For example, water turning into ice, the water's substance changed from its liquid state to its solid state, it is still water, and it can easily be turned back into water by heating it.

Sorry for the long explanation,
Hope this helps!
