<h2>The doctor likely suspects that the drug <u>Diethylstilboestrol ( thalidomide)</u> is behind Jackie's problems</h2>

Explanation:

Diethylstilboestrol, commonly known as DES or thalidomide was widely prescribed as an anti-miscarriage drug for 30 years between 1943 and 1973.

The production and sale of this drug was banned due to its carcinogenic side effects. It was also discovered that the effects of this drug can also manifest themselves in people whose mothers were administered with the drug.  

If Jackie's mother consumed DES while she was pregnant with Jackie,, It is probable that Jackie's miscarriages and her cancer are an indirect effect of the banned drug.

If the pair of materials listed below were rubbed together, give the charge that each would have in the same order as listed. us
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Simply put, the property of electron affinity refers to the relative amount of love that a material has for electrons. If atoms of a material have a high electron affinity, then that material will have a relatively high love for electrons. This property of electron affinity will be of utmost importance as we explore one of the most common methods of charging - triboelectic charging, also known as charging by friction or rubbing.

Suppose that a rubber balloon is rubbed with a sample of animal fur. During the rubbing process, the atoms of the rubber are forced into close proximity with the atoms of the animal fur. The electron clouds of the two types of atoms are pressed together and are brought closer to the nuclei of the other atoms. The protons in the atoms of one material begin to interact with the electrons present on the other material

Too much logging in the oyamel fir forests could lead to the eastern monarch butterfly going extinct because _______. a. the ent
olganol [36]

Too much logging in the oyamel fir forests could lead to the eastern monarch butterfly going extinct because <u>the entire population of the species spends winter in oyamel fir forests.</u>

<u>Why it is the correct option:</u>

a. The oyamel fir forests serve as the winter home for the eastern monarch butterflies. The entire population of monarch butterflies moves to oyamel fir forests in Mexico during winters to protect themselves from the freezing cold temperatures of their natural, breeding habitat. So, too much logging of the oyamel fir trees will destroy the winter habitat of these butterflies, and hence will lead to the decline in their population.

<u>Why the other options are incorrect:</u>

b. the butterflies breed in the oyamel fir trees is an incorrect option because the monarch butterflies breed in their natural habitats in the US.

c. the winters are too cold in oyamel is an incorrect option because these butterflies move to oyamel forests to protect themselves from cold.

d. the butterflies feed on the oyamel fir trees is an incorrect option because the monarch butterflies feed on milkweed.
