Answer: Polythene

Polythene is a synthetic polymer classified as plastics.

Explanation:

Polythene is formed artificially from several repeating units of ethene molecules (monomers) in a reaction known as polymerization.

The polyethene can be represented as [CH2-CH2]n, where n is thousands to ten thousands unit of ethene.

It is used to make

- plastic bags,

- cable insulators

- plastic crates etc

Thus, polythene is a synthetic polymer of ethene, and classified as plastics.

Arden is making a pros and cons list about genetic engineering for a debate at school. Which part of her list is incorrect?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The part of Arden's list that seems to be wrong is that genetic engineering can create organisms that survive in different environments (Pro 2).

Explanation:

Genetic engineering is a branch of genetics that introduces the use of technology to modify a living organism by introducing modified DNA into its original genome in order to improve its characteristics

The organisms subjected to changes by genetic engineering are called genetically modified organisms or GMOs, and can be stronger, longer-lived, more productive, or resistant to disease.

<em>Making a species resistant to any environment could cause it to develop in places where it could not live before, affecting the natural balance of an ecosystem to which it previously did not belong, so Pro 2 on Arden's list does not seem to be entirely beneficia</em>l.
