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.

If a cell with 12 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, how many daughter cells result and what is the chromosome number in each daught
VMariaS [17]
Mitosis is a kind of cell division that produces 2 daughter cells that is genetically identical to both the other daughter and the parent cell.

By the word genetically identical, it means that they have the same number of chromosomes.

This process starts by a parent cell doubling their chromosomes, then, it divides, and therefore each daughter cells receive the original number of chromosomes.

Therefore, the answer to this question is 2 cells, 12 chromosomes each.
