What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?
vfiekz [6]
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

C. Both A and B describe errors in the statement.

Explanation:

In fossilization i.e formation of fossils, two terms are used as follows: permineralization and petrification.

- Permineralization is a process whereby the pore spaces of an organism's remains are filled with mineral matter that precipitates from lake and ocean solutions.

- On the contrary, petrifaction or petrification is the process whereby a once-living tissue (matter) are REPLACED by minerals, hence, preserving the organism's structure by turning it into a stone (petros).

According to this question, the student mixed up their definitions by giving the definition of permineralization instead, however, options A and B have described the errors associated with the statement.
