If the parent is a carrier of lung disease then the child may have that chance of getting it.

The role of heredity of lung cancer does enhance the threat to a certain extent, however, lung cancer is more possible to be associated with a genetic predisposition in women, in young adults, and in lung cancer in non-smokers.

Smokers who are prone to lung cancer are less likely to exhibit a family history in comparison to the non-smoker who form lung cancer. However, in case, if anyone is exhibiting a genetic predisposition to lung cancer, then smoking seems to exaggerate that threat.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,

9. a) How does hydrogen bonding help the transport of water in plants?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Water has a high Cohesion because of Hydrogen bonding. This is important as transport of water in the Xylem in plants relies on water being pulled up. Cohesion also gives the water a high surface tension, allowing small organisms, such as Pond Skaters, to walk along it.

Explanation:

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Plants obtain the hydrogen they need from water molecules. Don't try to feed your plant hydrogen gas -- your plant wouldn't know what to do with it if you did. As long as they have water, plants can readily obtain all the hydrogen they need. :)
