The Human Genome Project is devoted to mapping the general DNA sequence of our species. This could lead to the development of ne

w medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. However, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. One concern is A) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. B) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. C) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. D) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

A, because of evolution things are constantly changing. DNA is written with letters and we are nearly identical but yet a few chromosomes make up our differences, but everyone has the possibility of a bad bacterial causing a DNA change which completely changes our reading

Answer:

B) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up

Explanation:

     Genetic discrimination can be defined as unequal treatment given to someone in the face of predisposition or manifestation of a particular disease of genetic or hereditary origin that may derive directly from that individual's genetic information or indirectly towards his or her relatives. Certainly, such segregation will have greater repercussions in the field of employment, health plans and life insurance. Obviously, such problems concern the privacy of genetic data, the fulmination of the principles of autonomy and free and informed consent, human dignity, and the exploitation of such information by interested parties as previously noted. The injustice of the present problem lies in the universe in which the person has no control over the results of their gene expression, as they are a consequence of gene versus gene and gene versus environment interaction. In addition to the environmental, another factor is crucial in gene dynamics, we refer to family history.

What is the sugar called that is found in<br> DNA?
pochemuha

Answer:

Deoxyribose

Explanation:

DNA stands for "deoxyribonucleic acid" because it has the sugar deoxyribose. It's named because it has one fewer oxygen than ribose. Be careful not to confuse the two sugars--ribose is in RNA, which stands for "ribonucleic acid."

Attached is a picture of the differences between the two sugars.

Circulation is maintained in the veins by the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Valves

Explanation:

Circulation is maintained in the veins by the valves.

Veins are part of the blood circulation system and blood vessels that transports deoxygenated blood from parts of the body back to the heart. Within the veins are valves (flap like structures) which maintain circulation by ensuring that blood in the veins move in the proper direction toward the heart. Blood that is being transported through the vein usually have low pressure. The valves work by providing pressure to enhance the blood’s movement, and they also disallow backflow of blood as it moves through the body. Most of the veins, especially the ones located in the legs and arms usually have one-way valves.
