Answer:

Artificial selection is when humans select organisms, because of their favorable genes and breed them to produce a genetically favorable organism. Artificial selection has aided in the yield and quality increase of certain plants/animals, mostly for consumption. As well as introducing a variety of plants. Artificial selection in laboratories have also helped make significant strides in diseases/therapeutic research.

Artificial selection has decreases genetic diversity among plants and animals, thus amplifying certain weaknesses and illnesses, and this could be detrimental to the organism and the environment.

Genetic information is beneficial in designing clinical trials for preventative therapies. Scientists can use genetic information to predict the risk of certain genetic diseases and help design effective therapies.

Sharing genetic information can put individuals at risk, because they can be identified, this could lead to discrimination by society and/or research bias by the researchers.

Artificial selection or selective breeding is a process of selecting the “advantageous” characteristics from the plants or animals by humans and using them for breeding. There are many advantages of artificial selection:

• More agricultural products, gaining higher profit (for example more milk from cow, or more fruit)

• Elimination of diseases by identifying the plants/animals with disease

• Production of superior breed.

On the other hand, negative effects might also occur, so the disadvantages of artificial selection are:

• Genetic mutations  

• Loss of genes

• Diseases

All of these negative impacts are connected and often arise from the breeding of desirable organisms.

How did the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the isolated skeletal muscle when the frequency of
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

When the frequency of stimulation of a muscle increases -without it having the opportunity to relax- a process called summation (addition) occurs, promoting an increase in the generation of force in the isolated skeletal muscle.

Explanation:

Summation is a phenomenon that occurs as a consequence of the arrival of successive stimuli that produce the contraction of the skeletal muscle before it achieves its partial or total relaxation, between subsequent stimuli.

<em>When the summation occurs in the muscle, the force generated on it increases its magnitude proportionally to the number of stimuli received, maintaining the muscle contraction in time</em>.

Tetany is the prolonged contraction of a muscle in an abnormal way, by the summation of stimuli received , as some bacterial toxins can produce. The summation can be temporary -when multiple stimuli reach the muscle in a determined time- or spatial, when the amount of stimuli activates a greater amount of motor units.
