1 Chemicals can be toxic because they can harm us when they enter or contact the body. Exposure to a toxic substance such as gasoline can affect your health. Since drinking gasoline can cause burns, vomiting, diarrhea and, in very large amounts, drowsiness or death, it is toxic. Some chemicals are hazardous because of their physical properties: they can explode, burn or react easily with other chemicals. Since gasoline can burn and its vapors can explode, gasoline is also hazardous. A chemical can be toxic, or hazardous, or both.

2 Non point source water pollution is difficult to control because it comes from the everyday activities of many different people, such as fertilizing a lawn, using a pesticide, or constructing a road or building.

Temka [501]

There have be found some fossils of ancient remains over the years. What the fossils from Atapuerca revealed about the hominins living in Europe at this time is below:

The Skull is known to show Interbreeding that took place with neandertals and their relatively healthy population.

The Fragment shows that there was a possibility of cannibalism in that area.

It shows that possible cannibalism took place as there were Cutmarks on various hominin bones found at Atapuerca mirror.

The relatively healthy population was found out through the study of the dentition of the Atapuerca hominins by anthropologists. It gave them a view into their diet and overall health.

The interbreeding with the Neandertals was shown through the Nuclear DNA that was gotten from bones and teeth of bones found at Sima de los Huesos

The RNA codon will be GAU, pairing Cytosine-Thymine-Adenine DNA codon with Guanine-Adenine-Uracil RNA codon. This codon is the Amino Acid, Aspartic Acid. In this codon we see Uracil which is the counterpart of Thymine in the RNA.
