Answer:

(2) acting as natural selecting agent

Explanation:

<em>Compounds like the pesticide DDT may bring about the evolution of new strains of organisms by </em><em><u>acting as a natural selecting agent.</u></em>

Evolution is generally defined as a gradual change to the characteristics of organisms over a period of time.

<u>When DDT is used on a particular population of pest, those that are weak within the population die off, leaving only those that are strong within the population to survive and multiply. The DDT acts a selecting agent for the survival gene in the pest and the survived gene eventually evolve into a new, DDT-resistant strain pest in no time.</u>

The correct option is option (2).

Explain Gynecomastia in males.
PolarNik [594]

Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.

Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:

Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.

Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.

Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and traps heat in the atmosphere. Without it and other greenhouse gases, Earth would be a frozen world. But humans have burned so much fuel that there is about 30% more carbon dioxide in the air today than there was about 150 years ago, and Earth is becoming a warmer place.
