Answer;

A. The idea has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

Explanation;

-Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient’s cells instead of using drugs or surgery.

-Although gene therapy is a promising treatment option for a number of diseases, such as inherited disorders and some types of cancer, the technique remains risky and is still under study to make sure that it will be safe and effective. Which means the idea of gene therapy has not yet achieved scientific consensus.

The head of a giraffe is 2.0 m above its heart and the density of the blood is 1.05 103 kg/m3. what is the difference in pressur
erastovalidia [21]
The giraffe head is higher than its heart so the blood pressure in the head must be lower than in the heart. The pressure is directly related to the density, gravity, and the height. The calculation would be:

<span>P = ρ*g*h 
</span>P= 1.05* 10^3 kg/m3 * 9.8m/s2 * 2m= <span>20 580 pascals= 20.58 kpa</span>

The algae, walleye pollock, and orca populations could have all affected the moon jelly population. What additional evidence do
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

  • There is a balance of resources, shelter, and number of species inside the region which is under consideration. While, the moon jelly's population may increase due to lack of presence of the competition for the resources that are present by means of other consumers of zooplankton that would enhance the growth of the moon jelly's.
  • Along, with that the decrease in the number of predators which are mainly the big marine animals inside the region that would increase the level or growth of the moon jelly's.
