ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project
EXPLANATION:
Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.
The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.
However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.
In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.
Answer:
Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.
Explanation:
Answer:
B. Cartilaginous fish
Explanation:
Sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton. Cartilage is less dense than bone which allows sharks to move quickly through the water without using too much energy.
Clay because it’s a mixture of dirt and runoff/water
An operational definition is used for a behavior so that the
behavior can be properly described and understood. Without an operational
definition, it would be difficult to describe behavior without being subjective.
Therefore, behavior cannot be understood and cannot be correctly addressed. It
is also important to understand how behavior functions so that the antecedents
and consequences of behavior can be observed. Thus, what reinforces or affects the
behavior can be better understood. Lastly, an operational definition is
objective and specific, therefore, behavior can be described across different
settings and times.
