By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.
A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.
Renewable resources are those which can be replaced naturally and repeatedly. For example, water, oxygen, and plants are examples of renewable resources.
Wood is a renewable resource as it is a part of trees. Trees are able to be replanted and can be cut down again, once they reach maturity. Plastics, glass, and steel are known as non-renewable resources as they cannot be replaced at a sufficient rate and usually have a limited supply. For example, plastics are created using a variety of different substances such as natural gas and oil (polyethylene). The Earth contains a limited supply of both substances, so plastic is deemed as being non-renewable.
As a result, the only renewable product in the choices provided above is a wooden spoon.
