Answer: The parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system play opposite roles

Explanation:

To ensure a stable internal environment (homeostasis) is achieved, the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) play OPPOSITE roles.

The PNS dominate during relaxed periods and stimulates the

- liver to break down glycogen

- constriction of bladder to pass out urine

- increases heartbeat

- dilate pupils etc

The SNS, in contrast dominate in times of emergency or stressful periods and do the EXACT opposite of the processes mentioned above.

Thus homeostasis is maintained

How did the development of technology and academic rivalry influence the Human Genome Project?

<span>The Human Genome Project had a very negative effect due to development in technology and academic rivalry. With knowledge came bitter rivalry and with technology came the tendency to become God. These angles greatly created negative impact about this project. The experts tried to create human clones, tissue engineering etc. The scientists tried to analyze a person and get rid of any future disease that might attack them. Some people feel this is good while others feel that it is like distorting the natural process. </span>

Bacterial conjugation

lord [1]

Answer:

Yes, these are correct.

Explanation:

Bacterial conjugation is the bacterial counterpart of sexual reproduction. Also known as horizontal gene transfer, it involves the transfer of genetic material from one F+ or Hfr bacterium to another F+ or F- bacterium.
The F or fertility factor is a crucial component of the bacterial plasmid and it accounts for the development of sex pili which are important for conjugation. An F+ cells contains the F-factor incorporated into its plasmid, whereas an F- cell lacks the F-factor and therefore cannot participate in conjugation.
Conjugation between an F+ and F- cell can result in the transfer of the F-factor to the F- bacterium.
An Hfr bacterium contains F-factor incorporated into its circular genome.
