In nature, mutation rates are usually ______ to maintain alleles that are not favored in a population by natural selection.

Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago

In nature, mutation rates aren't usually high enough to maintain alleles that are not favored in a population by natural selection.

While in the wild, many populations are led by natural selection. This means that favorable traits are passed down through generations, while unfavorable traits are not. Traits that are best suited for the environment of the organism will prevail to help the chance of survival.

Mutation rates usually aren't high enough to create traits that are unfavorable to an organism. While mutations are still possible, it is still unlikely. The traits that are chosen by natural selection are most likely to be passed onto organisms and their offspring.

Who do you think should draw the line as to what constitutes gene therapy and what constitutes gene enhancement? parents? doctor
Viktor [21]
Gene therapy is a method or a technique that uses genes to treat or prevent a disease instead of using drugs while gene enhancement involves use of genetics to improve the form of an organism in terms of desirable traits or selected characteristics of these organisms. Doctors have a wide range of knowledge and skills about the gene enhancement and gene therapy such that they know the efficient way to use the technique and the time when  the use of these techniques is required. In addition, they know when the techniques are not to be used as they might give different immune responses to the body. Therefore, doctors should draw the line as to what constitutes both the gene therapy and gene enhancement.

¿Que impacto tiene los diferentes tipos de centrales eléctricas en nuestro medio ambiente?​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Sin los correspondientes controles y marcos regulatorios, las centrales eléctricas pueden tener efectos adversos sobre el medio ambiente y contaminar los ecosistemas naturales, representando un serio riesgo para la salud humana

Explanation:

Las centrales eléctricas representan un riesgo latente para el medio ambiente, con lo cual ellas deben estar bajo un estricto marco regulatorio y control por parte de las instituciones gubernamentales especializadas para tal fin. Por ejemplo, las centrales hidroeléctricas generan la inundación permanente de grandes áreas (incluso miles de hectáreas) con el objetivo de aumentar la capacidad de generación de energía eléctrica. Por otra parte, se cree que aproximadamente el 50% de la polución industrial se debe a la acción de centrales eléctricas convencionales, las cuales utilizan la combustión del carbón, el petróleo o el gas natural con el objetivo de generar energía eléctrica. Este tipo de centrales eléctricas producen dióxido de carbono (CO2), el principal gas de efecto invernadero y considerablemente deterioran la calidad del aire que respiramos mediante la liberación de partículas contaminantes, presentando efectos adversos tanto para la salud humana como para el medio ambiente. Finalmente, la instalación de centrales eléctricas a base de la energía nuclear no generan gases causantes del efecto invernadero, pero pueden representar un serio riesgo debido a la posibilidad de liberación de materiales radiactivos durante accidentes nucleares, los cuales son capaces de contaminar permanentemente el medio ambiente. En este punto, es importante aclarar que los riesgos de accidentes en centrales nucleares se ha reducido notablemente en las últimas décadas y, por lo tanto, este tipo de centrales eléctricas se consideran relativamente seguras.
