Which of the following physiological responses is caused by the release of antidiuretic hormone?

When viruses cause an infection, they spread their DNA, affecting healthy cells’ genetic makeup and potentially causing them to turn into cancer.

For instance, HPV infections cause the virus’ DNA to combine with the host’s DNA, disrupting the normal function of cells.

Choice A is not correct because cancerous and normal cells sharing genetic sequences do not support the hypothesis that viruses can cause cancer.

Choice B is not correct because cellular DNA having sequences related to viral sequences does not support the hypothesis that viruses can cause cancer.

Choice C is not correct because viruses and cancer cells both replicating rapidly do not support the hypothesis that viruses can cause cancer.

The polarity of water molecules explains its solvent abilities for certain substances.

Water is a polar molecule because it has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other end due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

This polarity allows water to dissolve other polar substances and ionic compounds.

Choice A. Kinetic energy of liquid water molecules is not the correct answer because kinetic energy refers to the energy of motion and does not directly explain water’s solvent abilities.

Choice B. High specific heat is not the correct answer because specific heat refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance and does not directly explain water’s solvent abilities.

Choice C. High surface tension is not the correct answer because surface tension refers to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules and does not directly explain water’s solvent abilities.
