Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom are known as valence electrons.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2. This means that there are 2 valence electrons in a calcium atom.

These valence electrons can be lost or gained by an atom according to the octet rule and ability to gain stability.

Hence, we can conclude that the statement valence electrons may be lost or gained by an atom when bonding occurs with another atom, is True for valence electrons.

Make a list of the potential benefits and harms that might arise from knowing your complete genome sequence.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance,  even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
