Answer 1

Answer: Tracing the movement of cadmium isotopes in test animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy metals accumulate in the body of the organism and causes harm to their body. This is because they accumulate in the body which is not good.

Heavy metals produce the ROS and damage the DNA of the cell. Exposure to arsenic can cause cancer in the body of animals. It is detected by tracing the heavy metals in the body using the isotopes.

The researchers are carrying away tests in which they use cadmium isotopes are traced in the body of animals.

Answer 2
