Answer:

Jill's problems -characterized by learning disabilities due to ADHD- could be the result of prenatal exposure to behavioral teratogens, though he stresses that the link is not straightforward at this time.

Explanation:

The options for this question are:

  1. <em>Genetic abnormalities.</em>
  2. <em>Cell differentiation.</em>
  3. <em>Behavioral teratogens.</em>
  4. <em>Chromosomal abnormalities.</em>

ADHD is an <u>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,</u> a rare condition that has been linked to hereditary and environmental factors, such as exposure to teratogens.

Hereditary factors include genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, which can be passed from parent to child.

Pre-natal environmental factors are all those to which the mother has been exposed and which affect the normal development of the fetus. Among these factors are behavioral teratogens.

<u>Substances such as nicotine, alcohol, drugs of abuse, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been identified as behavioral teratogens, which could possibly have produced ADHD in Jill</u>.

The reason the doctor says the link between behavioral teratogens and Jill's ADHD is not straightforward at this time is because multiple factors can produce the disorder and must be considered through parental questioning and clinical testing.

What 3 molecules that aren't DNA helps us learn about evolution?
max2010maxim [7]
We know, DNA is the main molecule by which scientists can learn about evolution by comparing the DNA structure between two different organisms. 
But, in addition to DNA (which is most helpful & important) still, there are 3 molecules that can help us, They are:

1) RNA : - It is found in cytoplasm, as DNA transfers it's codes into RNA during Central dogma, it can help us in evolution studies.

2) Proteins: - Another helpful feature, into which RNA transforms in Central Dogma.

3) Pseudogenes: - It is also known as "Non-coding DNA" It is extra <span>DNA in a genome that do not get transcribed into RNA to synthesize proteins. They can also help us in Evolutionary studies.

Hope this helps!</span>
