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.

Which scientists was the first to suggest that growth of cancerous cells was a result of abnormal chromosomes?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answers are B and C. Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri were the first to suggest that growth of cancerous cells was a result of abnormal chromosomes.

Explanation:

The chromosomal theory of inheritance is a scientific theory that relates chromosomes with the transmission of inheritable characters. It is also called the chromosomal theory of Sutton and Boveri in honor of the two people who independently developed it in 1902, Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton. This theory states that the alleles, the Mendelian genetic factors, are on chromosomes.

Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton independently developed the chromosome theory in 1902, Boveri, studying embryonic development in sea urchin and Sutton in this work on meiosis in grasshopper.

Sutton and Boveri's proposition in 1902 that chromosomes are the factors of Mendelian inheritance was controversial until its demonstration in 1915 by the work of Thomas Hunt Morgan in the Drosophila melanogaster fly.
