DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane. The first kind of synthetic/artificial insecticides came into use in the 1940s. The earlier usage of DDT include: a) Killing of malarial vectors, b) Combatting Typhus and other insect borne human diseases, c) As a pest control in crops d) as a pest control in garden, live stock production and even at homes.
The negative impact of DDT could be felt for the first time when the pests that were earlier killed by use of DDT have now become pesticides resistant. In the 1950s in USA, the regulatory measures were adopted to reduce the usage of DDTs as its effects as a pesticides were no more long significant and also it was creating detrimental physical and psychological impacts on the human and environment.
It was in 1972 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the order for banning the usage of DDT based on the adverse impact it produced on the environment, human and other life forms. Since then continuous studies are being conducted to analyse the impact of DDTs. In some later years it was established that DDT is the cause of producing tumors in liver.
Some of the common negative impacts produced by DDT as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture :
a) The non destructive nature – DDT can not be destroyed and thus it remains persistent in the atmosphere
b) It attacks the tissues of living organisms especially the animals and humans ( fatty tissue)
c) It can penetrate the atmosphere to deeper extent.
Now as per the current stuation, The use of DDT is controlled and other alternatives of pest control organisms is being deduced. As per the treaty of Stockholm Convention on POPs (Persistent organic pollutants) , usage of DDT for malarial control is justified but it puts a restrictive use of DDT as pesticides in other areas.
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the third choice "neap"
Neap tides<span> occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to the Earth. When this is the case, their total gravitational pull on the Earth's water is weakened because it comes from two different directions.</span>
I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
<span>Cocaine is an indirect agonist of dopamine <span>receptors which</span> means he </span>has no specific agonist activity at the dopamine receptor<span> but he enhances his activity. Cocaine</span> acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, blocking the removal of dopamine from the synapse and blocking termination of dopamine signalling. As a result, it increases the extracellular concentration of dopamine and therefore signal to the receiving neurons is amplified.
Anatomical and molecular features often fit a similar pattern due to Homology. Homology is the existence of shared ancestry between two structures or genes in a different species.
A process that can cause this not to be the case is Convergent Evolution.
Convergent Evolution occurs when two unrelated species independently evolve similar traits to cope with evolutionary changes.
Experiments with faulty design or inconsistent data:
-decreases the experiment's reliability and validity
- wastes time and resources
- destroys the scientist's credibility in their field
- may lead to issues of safety to the experimenter/s due to faulty design
- is discouraged especially in hard sciences where data obtained should be accurate and precise
Explanation:
There are many<span> reasons that experiments with faulty </span>styles<span> or with incorrect </span>knowledge are<span> problematic for scientists. One reason for them to be problematic </span>is that if<span> he or she were to poorly </span>live<span> what </span>they're learning<span>. </span>as an example<span>, </span>somebody<span> measured the mass of a book </span>properly<span> to be </span>two<span> pounds, and </span>somebody else<span> measured it </span>erroneously<span> to be </span>one<span> pound. </span>differently<span>, that faulty designed experiments and inconsistent </span>knowledge will be<span> problematic is lack of accuracy and </span><span>exactness.</span>
