Answer: C) still being tested and is used for diseases that have no cure.

Explanation: It is considered as risky and is only used for diseases with no cures. It's not used for those diseases with many cures and it is not safe.

The answer is; C

Gene therapy is still not considered safe and has not been approved for humans, especially due to errors in inserting of DNA at the target site and also random relapse of the DNA from its inserted site. Gene therapy, however, can be sanctioned when its benefits outweigh its risks such as in terminally ill patients - with the approval of the patient and local relevant policies/authorities. Gene therapy, today, is being tested with innovative tools called CRISPR/Cas9.

How the salivary glands are affected by the parasympathetic nervous system?
BabaBlast [244]

the parasympathetic nervous system stimulates the secretion of diluted saliva.

This satellite image shows a decrease in vegetation along the shoreline of the Hudson Bay in central Canada. Scientists will MOS
Scilla [17]
There is no picture shown, however details like this indicate that Scientist are examining the future changes in biodiversity within the Hudson river. If vegetation would see a continuous decrease, animals are forced to flee their habitat and find new areas or locations where they could thrive. When this happens, changes in the environment would put a great deal on the existence of certain forms of species within the area.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Suppose you were to compare a milliliter of water near the boiling point with a bathtub full of water at room temperature. The bathtub contains a billion times as many water molecules, and therefore has a higher total kinetic energy and more heat.

A student is given a list of traits and is asked to organize them in a Venn diagram as shown below.
mart [117]

Answer: The correct answer is option B) a scar and wolf's social status.

The acquired traits can be defined as the traits, which are only influenced by the environment of the organism. The acquired trait cannot be passed down to the offspring, as they are not genetically determined. A scar and the social status of any organism is dependent on the behavior of the organism to the environment, no genes code for both of these characters. So, scars and Wolf's social status is an acquired trait.

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<em><u>Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.</u></em>

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an oxidation reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen molecules and oxidized. By oxidizing glucose, it produces pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH). Glycolysis has two phases. In the first phase, 2 ATP molecules are invested for the phosphorylation of glucose to break down into a simpler one. In the second phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are earned back with 2 NADH and a simpler form of glucose (6C) to pyruvate (3C) by oxidizing glucose.
