Some toxic compounds are ingested and retained in the tissues. these pollutants pose special risks to humans and other organisms high on the food chain because of which process?
a. synergism

b. compound contamination

c. biomagnification

d. threshold effect

e. carcinogenesis

Biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the process by which substances (mostly harmful ones) accumulated in the bodies of some animals increases in the bodies of higher animals which feed on these animals along the food chain. This process causes small quantities of harmful substances to reach toxic levels in higher animals.

other information encoded in your genes might distinguish you from the others in the group
