The correct answer is option D, "concerns about the development of new weapons"

Reason -

There is no link of genetic engineering with the creation of deadly weapons and those too physical weapons.

The common ethical concerns related to biotechnology experiments consists of the following –

a) Leaking of genetic information of an individual

b) Creation of harmful species

c) Development of harmful disease causing factors.

d) And a lot of morality issues such as harming the privacy of an individual etc.

Thus Option D is incorrect

Answer:

concerns about the development of new weapons

Explanation:

Technology that makes use of organisms or their parts or products to generate a valuable substance or produce a process is termed as biotechnology.

Since biotechnology utilizes living organisms it is sure to have some ethical concerns associated with it as ethical issues only arise when a given process leads to. a conflict with the morals of the society.

The field of biotechnology has many ethical concerns associated with it which include:

1. Concern relating the privacy of genetic testing.

2. Use of privileged information

3.Potential harm to the ecosystem.

4. Providing access to new drugs and treatments.

5.Interference with nature.

Therefore, there are several ethical concerns associated with biotechnology however one thing that is proven is that there is no involvement of production of any weapon of destruction in the process of biotechnology and hence out of all the given options this option is incorrect.

PLEASE HELP!! How is smallpox different when it comes to making a vaccine?

andre [41]

Answer:

"The smallpox vaccine does not contain smallpox virus and cannot spread or cause smallpox. However, the vaccine does contain another virus called vaccinia which is live in the vaccine. Because the virus is alive, it can spread to other parts of the body or to other people from the vaccine site."

The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 genes that act in an additive manner. The environment does not have an effect on this

Sergio [31]

Answer:

What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model? 48 units of risk
What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd? The individual has curly toes
Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

Explanation:

Available data:

The curly toe phenotype is controlled by 4 diallelic additive genes
Genes A, B, C, D
A dominant allele has 6 units of risk
A recessive allele has 2 units of risk
Individuals with more than 35 units of risk have curly toes
Individuals with 35 or fewer risk units have straight toes

The term quantitative heritability refers to the transmission of a phenotypic trait in which expression depends on the additive effect of a series of genes.

Polygenic heritability occurs when a trait results from the interaction of more than one gene. And these genes can also have more than two alleles. The action of many genes and alleles can cause many different combinations that are the reason for genotypic graduation.

Quantitative traits are those that can be measure, such as longitude, weight, eggs laid per female, among others. These characters do not group individuals by any precise and clear categories. Instead, they group individuals in many different categories that depend on how the genes were intercrossed and distributed during meiosis. The result depends on the magnitude in which each allele contributes to the final phenotype and genotype. When they interact, they create a gradation in phenotypes, according to the level of contribution.

According to this information, and knowing how each allele contributes to the risk, we can say that the minimum units of risk are 16, determined by the recessive genotype aabbccdd. Each recessive allele contributes with 2 units of risk, so (aa=4units + bb=4 units + cc=4 units + dd=4 units) = 16 units.

Each time a dominant allele is present in the genotype, it adds 6 units to the total risk.

What is the highest number of risk units an individual can have with this model?

48 units of risk, which corresponds to the genotype AABBCCDD. Each dominant allele contributes 6 units to the risk. There are 8 dominant alleles, so, 8x6=48 units.

What is the phenotype of an individual of genotype AaBbCCDd?

The individual has curly toes because it has a risk of 36 units, which is superior to the limit of 35 units. Dominant alleles A, B, C, C, D contribute with 30 units of risk (6x5), and recessive alleles a, b, d contribute 6 units of risk (3x2).

F1) 16 /32 = 1/2 individuals in the progeny are expected to have curly toes

16 /32 = 1/2 individuals are expected to have straight toes

Is it possible for them to have a child with curly toes?

Yes, the couple can have children with curly toes.

To have curly toes, individuals must have more than 35 units of risk.

To have more than 35 units, individuals´ genotypes must carry at least 5 dominant alleles (which equal 30 units).

To solve a problem using the equation for Kepler’s third law, Enrico must convert the average distance of Mars from the Sun from

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:Enrico must multiply the distance of mars from sun (meters) with the $6.6844\times 10^{-12}$ to convert the distance in astronomical units.

Explanation:

1 astronomical unit = $1.496\times 10^{11} m$

$1m=\frac{1}{1.496\times 10^{11} } AU=6.6844\times 10^{-12} AU$

Let the distance between the sun and Mars be Y( meters)

Distance in AU= $Y\times 6.6844\times 10^{-12} AU$

Enrico must multiply the distance of mars from sun (meters) with the $6.6844\times 10^{-12}$ to convert the distance in astronomical units.

Match the different roles of people involved in the buying center with their responsibilities.

aliina [53]

Answer:

Initiators - identify the requirement for a product within the company

Buyers - handle the process of choosing the vendor and negotiating the price

Explanation:

The buying centre of an organisation consists of 7 different member namely Initiators, Users, Buyers, Influencers, Deciders, Approvers, Gate Keepers.

Initiators are the person who are first to suggests or initiates of the idea of buying the particular service or product.

Influencer are the whose views or idea influence the decision making process. These influencers could be qualified engineers, technical personnel, consultants.

Buyers are the persons who takes care of the the person who handles the paper work of the actual purchase.These buyers plays a vital role in choosing vendors. Sometimes they also helps in shaping the product specifications.
