Answer:

The correct answer is "In order to create a synthetic life form it would be necessary to know the function of every gene and include them in the organism".

Explanation:

The most common approach of studies using recombinant DNA technology is to insert a desirable gene from one organism into a host organism. This approach is much more feasible that creating a synthetic life form because, in order to create a synthetic life form, it would be necessary to know the function of every gene and include them in the organism. Even though the whole DNA sequence of many organisms is known (including humans), the function of the entire sequences of the genome is yet to be understood.

Is the current rate of species loss 10 times the typical rate of extinction?
Anika [276]
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Electroencephalogram

Explanation:

In the cerebral cortex, cell bodies (soma) and dendrites produce the synaptic potentials that create an electrical activity that can be measured by electrodes placed on the scalp resulting in an <u>Electroencephalogram</u>.

a test or record of brain activity produced by electroencephalography.

Electroencephalography is an electrophysiological monitoring method to test or record brain activity.
