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.

One idea to mitigate the effects of burning fossil fuels on atmospheric CO2 concentrations is to pipe liquid CO2 into the ocean
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Option E, Both increased acidity of deep waters and changes in the growth of bottom-dwelling organisms with calcium-carbonate shells

Explanation:

When high concentration of CO2 is pumped into the ocean at its greater depths, CO2 is absorbed extensively by the ocean which changes the pH of ocean water and makes it more acidic. The high acidity of ocean water is due to the release of free hydrogen ions. Excess of hydrogen ions make the carbonate ions less abundant due to which the organism that make carbonate shell will suffer as they may not get sufficient carbonate ions to calcify their outer coverings.  

Hence, option E is correct

Would carbon increase, decrease or remain the same in the following spheres (justify your response)
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

1.Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth's temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Most of Earth's carbon is stored in rocks and sediments. The rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms.1 Feb 2019

2.Carbon is found in the atmosphere mostly as carbon dioxide. Animal and plant respiration place carbon into the atmosphere. When you exhale, you are placing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. ... Carbon is found in the hydrosphere dissolved in ocean water and lakes.
