Aliun [14]4 years ago

The most straightforward answer is using an individual's genetic information to decide who can be covered for health insurance. 
This is unethical because people have no say over which genes they were born with. Furthermore, applying this logic would mean that we are proponents of genetic determinism. While genes have an impact, a person can still choose to apply different protocols in his life that help him combat his chances for certain diseases. 
It could be also considered unethical if people themselves would be provided guidance based on the genetic information collected, without any proper medical consultation beforehand.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

cooperation

Explanation:

Cooperation occurs when living things of different species work together to benefit themselves. The interaction between a bee and a flower is a symbiotic relationship. A symbiotic relationship between two living things is one in which at least one of the parties benefits. The relationship between the bee and the flower is a mutual one because both parties benefit.

While the pollen and nectar serve as food for the bees, the spread of the pollen to other plants assist in the reproduction process.

What allows for some substances to be reabsorbed and others to leak from the tubule in the enthrone?
MAXImum [283]
The right answer is <span>A) semi-permeable membrane

<span>A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane permeable to a liquid (solvent) and impermeable (or poorly permeable) to substances dissolved in the liquid (solute).

</span>The tubule of a kidney consists of a semi-permeable membrane and has also specific transporters which allow absorption and reabsorption. These "tools" allows some substances like ions to be absorbed/reabsorbed (by the transporters), without any changes in the concentration of the other substances (because both the membrane and the transporters stopped them).</span>
