They can harm animals and humans. What ever digests the crops that pesticides are used on can get sick and diseased. Pesticides are dangerous for humans and animals and can kill.

Answer:

Pesticides are chemical or biological agents that are able to restrict the growth of pests in a agricultural field. These pesticides prevents the growth of insects or pests whose life cycle is mainly dependent on plants and those which are dependent for food requirement on plants. The pesticides making crop pest resistance can be harmful to animals and humans as these are toxic in nature. These pesticides can contaminate the air, water and soil in the regions where they are applied and causes respiratory, cardiac and water borne diseases in humans. These pesticides being toxic remains undigested and circulated in a food chain can be responsible for biomagnification. Biomagnification affects the growth and abundance of species in all trophic levels of the food chain but the highest trophic level is most affected because of accumulation of pesticides in the organisms reaches at higher concentration, responsible for mortality.

The cell cycle of yeast cells grown in the nutrient-poor environment is approximately what percent of the cell cycle of yeast ce
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S

The x-ray film shows a fracture where one side of the cortex is intact and flexed and the other side has signs of interruption (
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option B.

Explanation:

Greenstick fractures are the type of fractures where one side of the cortex is intact and flexed while the other side is fractured. This type of fracture known as the incomplete fracture,

If any fracture have two or more lines of fracture it is called as Comminuted fractures. Impacted fractures have one segment on other. Due to the performing same activity again and again stress fracture occures that is characterized by failure of one cortical bone.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
