Answer: D) Social norms
Explanation: Social norms are general social norms, meaning accepted by society as unwritten rules, and these rules relate to what behaviour is acceptable, that is, norms about how to behave. Such norms define rules, for example for certain social groups, classes, boys, girls, etc., but also at a higher cultural level, for example, some norms differ from culture to culture. In each case, social norms provide a specific model or idea of how to behave within certain groups, cultures, etc.

In February of this year, the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in the United Kingdom approved a request by the Francis Crick Institute in London to modify human embryos using the new gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas9. This is the second time human embryos have been employed in such research, and the first time their use has been sanctioned by a national regulatory authority. The scientists at the Institute hope to cast light on early embryo development—work which may eventually lead to safer and more successful fertility treatments.
The embryos, provided by patients undergoing in vitro fertilization, will not be allowed to develop beyond seven days. But in theory—and eventually in practice—CRISPR could be used to modify disease-causing genes in embryos brought to term, removing the faulty script from the genetic code of that person’s future descendants as well. Proponents of such “human germline editing” argue that it could potentially decrease, or even eliminate, the incidence of many serious genetic diseases, reducing human suffering worldwide. Opponents say that modifying human embryos is dangerous and unnatural, and does not take into account the consent of future generations.
Answer:
D). High in probability and low in consequence.
Explanation:
This situation could be best described as high in probability and low in consequence as Jim employs the instinctive approach to this manage this risk. Instincts imply the inclination towards a specific complex behavior of people which is contrary to the reflexes that are entirely based on the stimulus responses of people. <em>Jim's behavior illustrates the high-probability and low-consequence which implies that his action(inhaled his frozen confection) does not contain any destructive consequence as it occurs in the case of low-probability and high-consequence case.</em> Thus, option D is the correct answer.
:Dina is currently indulging in her sweet tooth by eating an entire box of her favourite Swiss chocolates. Her actions, which are designed to bring her emotional pleasure and gratification, might be related to activation of her brain's limbic system basal.
: The brain structure that is located on the both sides of the thalamus gland is referred as limbic system. Another name of Limbic System is paleomammalian cortex. The main function of the Limbic system is to control and deal with the emotions such as anger, joy, love, fear, etc. It also regulates the memory of a person.
It is composed of several structures in brain. The connection of these structures allows it to control emotions and memory of a person. Learning, helping, humanity, desire, are regulated by it. It not only controls emotions but also have control over some bodily activities that are related to feelings. It is also responsible for our behaviour and our emotional response to any action or activity or situation.
