GMO stands for a genetically modified organism. 

This means that scientists genetically engineer an organism, usually to change it or take its best trait from it to create a new organism that is more efficient.
An example is growing crops. Scientists may take two crops, one that is highly nutritious and the other that is drought resistant. Genetically engineering them to form a new plant will create a GMO - that will most likely be highly nutritious and also drought resistant - thus two good qualities from two different plants were taken and modified to be in the one plant.

GMO is a very clever and sufficient way for farming as they can grow stronger and won't as easily die and shrivel away. However, they can also be dangerous to eat since they've undergone genetic modification.

Hope this helps.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is d) distal humerus fracture</em>

Explanation:

The humerus is one of the three bones which join to make up the elbow joint. A break in the lower end part of the upper elbow results in distal humerus fracture. Such types of events are caused due to high energy collisions such as during an accident. The distal humerus fracture can be treated through a surgery. During the surgery, the normal motion of the humerus is tried to be restored.

Which of the following experiments would be considered unethical?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. Taking blood samples from patients for research purposes

without consent

Explanation:

Generally, providers may not render medical services without the patient’s consent, unless performance of emergency, lifesaving care is necessary. Taking samples from a patient is a type of medical service; thus, state consent laws apply. In addition, providers may not disclose PHI without patient authorization.

It depends on the definition of unethical being used, however I think I am right. I'm in AP bio currently. Let me know what the answer is :)
