Answer:

High-dose chemicals can damage DNA causing genotoxicity, which is defined as damage to DNA or genes. And this can be aggravated since many chemicals have had little toxicological evaluation.

Explanation:

The cancers are caused by mutations in the DNA throughout the life of a person, in such a way that obeying the causative factors, in this case the chemicals, they leave a mutational pattern in the genome of each tumor. There is an interesting biomarker called TGx-DDI, which is based on some genes that are expressed in a cell subjected to the stress produced by the chemical compound. These genes reflect the way in which different pathways can provide information on how cells respond to the chemical.

Warmer ocean surface water would most likely be found near ___.
KiRa [710]

The warm ocean water is usually found near the top surface of the ocean. The sun makes the surface of the ocean warm and thus heat up its water.

The average ocean temperature at the surface is 17 degree Celsius while at greater depth the temperature falls down to 0 to (-3) degree Celsius
