Ans.

Carcinogens can be defined as a physical and chemical agent that leads to development of cancer (carcinogenesis), such as radiation, toxic chemicals, and tumor-causing viruses due to mutations in genetic material of cells.

Tobacco is considered as a carcinogen as it can cause lung cancer, mouth cancer, and various other types of cancer. Tobacco contains around seventy chemicals, which promote or initiate cancer and make it a potent carcinogen.

[CM.04] List three reasons that fair weather predictions made by meteorologists are sometimes incorrect. Explain your response.
vlabodo [156]

1) Relying on computers and not going to the field. Sometimes a technical or software fault could lead to a wrong prediction. it could be a new forecaster who does not know the weather patterns and so follows the computer model instead of stepping outside and actually feeling the weather

2) The atmosphere always changes with natural disasters occurring such as pollutants in the air that make forecasting difficult.

3) Most of the times meteorologists base their forecasts on probability. Because of differences in the climate, those temperatures are not the same, so errors occur.

Hope this helps

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

First of all we should know species. Species is considered as a basic unit of taxonomic classification of an organism.

Initially, the scientists are agreed on this phenomenon that all distinct species are evolved gradually from common ancestor. Today, the species which are different from each other just like hummingbirds, humans and whales are from the same ancestor but with the time passage genetic mutation occurs and at the end dissimilar organisms we can see in our environment/surroundings.
