Answer:

1. Endocrine disrupters

Explanation:

Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that alters or interrupts the normal functioning of the endocrine system that consists of several glands that produce hormones responsible for various functions such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, etc. When this interferes with the endocrine system, it can bring about many undesirable consequences, one of which is low testosterone levels as reported in the Alligators in Florida lake that is polluted by high levels of dioxins. These chemicals act as endocrine disrupters.

Soaking the foot in warm water<span>
Applying antibiotic ointment

<span>In an ingrown nail, the nail sliver penetrates the skin, resulting in inflammation that may hinder ambulation and interfere with activities of daily living. After the nail sliver is removed by a podiatrist, treatment involves soaking the foot in warm water and applying antibiotic ointment. Application of an ice pack is suitable for plantar fasciitis rather than an ingrown toenail. Treatment of secondary infection is advised in hypertrophic ungual labium, which results from an untreated ingrown nail. The application of padding and lanolin creams is recommended for calluses.</span></span>

Do all cells undergo Mitosis frequently? Why or why not?
Zina [86]
It really depends on the type of cell and the replacement rate. Mitosis or cell division occurs in places where the cells get damaged easily. For example, skin cells frequently divide and undergo mitosis because they are replaced very often. On the contrary, heart cells never get replaced and actually never really undergo mitosis (there is no need for it)
