<span>Waves in a given area typically have a range of heights. For weather reporting and for scientific analysis of wind wave statistics, their characteristic height over a period of time is usually expressed as significant wave height. This figure represents an average height of the highest one-third of the waves in a given time period (usually chosen somewhere in the range from 20 minutes to twelve hours), or in a specific wave or storm system.

Answer:
e.DDT
Explanation:
DDT is biologically magnified and concentrated as it moves through the food web. This increase in concentration is due to Metabolism of DDT which excretes more slowly than the nutrients which moves from one trophic level to next. so DDT accumulates in the body especially in the Fats.

It is 4. the reproductive cycles of males and females are regulated by hormones
Answer:
They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)
Explanation:
Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".
Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.
This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.
This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.
