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.

How is the inside surface area maximized in each animal dogfish shark?
Alexus [3.1K]
The inside surface area is shaped in a crescent. It consists of a spiral valve which is made up of the small intestine. Although the dogfish shark has a relatively short small intestine compared to other animals, therefore, the spiral valve allows for a more compact form of the small intestine.
Hence, this structure provides maximum surface area over a relatively short distance in order to make the absorption of nutrients efficient achieved from the food, the sharks had from eating different sea animals.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Stamen/Pistil

Explanation:

Flowering plants also called Angiosperms are a group of plants characterized by the possession of flowers used for sexual reproduction. The flowers contains the male part and female part. The male part of a flower is collectively called STAMEN while the female part is collectively called PISTIL or STYLE.

The STAMEN is responsible for the production of the male reproductive structure called POLLEN while the PISTIL is responsible for the production of female reproductive structure called OVARY. During reproduction, pollen (containing male gametes, sperm) from the STAMEN are transferred to the stigma (receptive part) of the STYLE in a process called POLLINATION.
