dioxin is a chemical byproduct made during manufacturing. animal testing has shown that it can have negative effects on organisms such as birth defects, liver damage, and immune suppression. however, the effects vary greatly between species. a mouse may be able to handle a higher dose than a cat. dioxin enters a cell and binds to a receptor protein, which then attaches to the cell's genetic material. how does dioxin's mechanism contribute to its variable effects on different organisms?
a. organisms that do not require receptor proteins to initiate genetic expression are not affected by dioxin.
b. dioxin may bind to receptor proteins that inhibit expression in some genes and promote expression in others.
c. dioxin only binds to receptor proteins that affect particular genes in particular species.
d. genes that are inhibited by receptor proteins are not affected by dioxin since they are not expressed anyway.

Select all the correct answers. which statements fail to meet the requirements of a scientific claim? 1 even though evidence indicates that the solar system's planets follow elliptical paths, copernicus's model involving circular orbits is true. 2 the evidence supporting newton's laws of motion was accurate in newton's time, but the universe operates differently today. 3 flowers that reflect the most ultraviolet light are more likely to attract bees and other pollinators than flowers that reflect less ultraviolet light. 4 in the final 100 meters of a 10,000-meter race, an athlete's speed is more strongly related to anaerobic efficiency than to aerobic efficiency.
