Answer: Option a
Explanation:
Biotechnology is the branch which deals with the most advanced techniques which is required to make the life easy.
One of the most important application is Genetically modified crops. Genetically modified crops are pest resistant and have many advantages.
There are few disadvantages one of them is beneficial insects are also adversely affected. There are many useful insects that helps in pollination and they are also killed because of pest resistant plant.
hence the correct answer is option A
Flatworms-In the life cycle of trematode flukes of the subclass Digenea, mollusks (mostly snails) serve as the intermediate host. Fertilized eggs usually hatch in water. The first larval stage, the miracidium, generally is free-swimming and penetrates a freshwater or marine snail, unless it has already been ingested by one.
Roundworms-Roundworms can complete their life cycle in immature dogs, but as the pup's immune system matures (usually by 6 months of age), the larval stages of the roundworm will become arrested and will encyst (become enclosed in a cyst) in the pup's muscles. They can remain encysted in the dog's tissues for months or years.
Answer: A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic <em>proteinuria</em>.
Your IRB has determined that assent of children age 8 and older is required for the study. A 10 year old firmly declined to participate in the study.
The best procedure that describes the <u>action </u>to be taken by the investigator is:
- Honor the Childs decision .
Explanation:
The <em>purpose</em> of the IRB is to <em>assure that appropriate steps are taken</em> to <em>protect the rights </em>and welfare of humans participating as subjects in a research study. It promotes <em>fully informed and voluntary participation</em> by prospective subjects capable of making such choices (or, if that is not possible, informed permission given by a suitable proxy), and seeks to maximize the safety of subjects.
The capacity admits degrees. The same patient may be able to decide certain things and not others. So, the more transcendent or delicate a decision is, the higher the level of capacity required must be. When the patient <u>is not capable, it is up to his relatives to make the decisions.</u>
