Answer:
Nerve agent
Explanation:
A nerve agent is a chemical in which on exposure to humans affects the functioning of the nervous system. These chemicals are known to disrupt the process by which messages are transferred to the organs from the nerve. This disruption occurs by blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the catabolism of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.
On exposure to a nerve agent, the muscles of the body become paralyzed and early symptoms is production of excess mucous such as in runny nose, pupil constriction and also difficulty in breathing.
These agents are sometimes used in chemical warfare. Examples include sarin, tabun etc.
Answer:
A. dihybrid crosses
Explanation:
A dihybrid cross can be defined as a mating experiment between two lines/varieties/organisms that differ in two phenotypic traits. By using pea plants, Mendel performed dihybrid crosses in order to analyze the mode of inheritance of both phenotypic traits at the same time. From these mating experiments, Mendel observed that the inheritance factors (nowadays called genes) sorted independently from one another in the next generation, which is called the principle/law of Independent Assortment.
Answer:
Air particles are a mixture of solids and liquids that are microscopically tiny and suspended by air currents. It can stay in the atmosphere for a few hours to a month or two. Their constituents can be various harmful substances such as heavy metals - lead, nickel, arsenic, cadmium or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Explanation:
Air particles, nitrogen dioxide and ground-level ozone are now considered to be the three most polluting substances in human health. Exposure during peak concentration and long-term exposure to these pollutants can cause damage from respiratory distress to premature death.
Answer:
Explanation:
Plant transport systems move energy from leaves and raw materials from roots to all their parts. The xylem (tissue) moves water and minerals obtained from the soil to all other parts of the plants.
