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.

How do meteorologists use isotherms and isobars?
nignag [31]

Answer:

A. To identity high- and low-pressure systems

Explanation:

Isobars are similar to the level lines on a topographic map, showing areas of similar pressure, they are also drawn in circles to represent the areas of similar air pressure over a geographical map.

Isotherms are usually displayed in color showing areas over a map that have the same temperature or are covered by a similar temperature system (heat or cold front for example).

Both are used in electronic media mostly (although in print in newspapers too), over a geographic map to position the systems.
