By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.
A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.
Answer: Like us, fish also need to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in order to survive. But instead of lungs, they use gills. ... As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.

Answer:
Bio carbonate ions
Explanation:
The pancreas secrets an aqueous mixture ( water, digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions) during digestion of food substances from the stomach into the duodenum to begin the process of absorption and assimilation.
The pancreatic duct are lined with duct cells. These are cells which secretes HCO3- ,into the aqueous mixture. This ion is basic. Therefore it neutralizes the acidity of the of the chyme to released from the stomach to enable the pancreatic enzyme to work.
The bicarbonate ions also prevent the walls of the pancreases from getting burnt by the effect if the acidity of the chyme.
