Nutrient pollution is the situation when due to the excess nutrient levels, excessive amounts of algae grow - so the correct answer is c. excess fertilizer use.
Pouring motor oil down the drain also results in pollution, but in other kind of solution - not nutrient solution.
Answer:
Genetic counseling raises concerns associated with confidentiality and privacy of the information. I consider that genetic information always is beneficial for the individual because this information can be used to determine the genetic predisposition of developing a particular inherited disease (and therefore prevent it).
Explanation:
Genetic counseling has historically been associated with concerns with confidentiality and privacy of genetic information. Genetic information about an individual such as carrier status (i.e., the presence of recessive deleterious alleles in the genome of the individual), his/her chance of developing a certain disease (e.g., cancer), or transmit this disease to his/her offspring is always stigmatizing, and therefore it must be kept confidential. In consequence, genetic information must be carefully handled by professionals because any filtration of this information may be harmful to the individual (for example, unscrupulous companies might use this information to select personal regarding the genetic predisposition to suffer inherited diseases). However, genetic information is very useful in order to determine the genetic predisposition of developing a particular inherited disease and thus take the necessary actions to prevent it (e.g., avoid high salt foods if there is a genetic predisposition of developing cardiovascular diseases).
Description 2 describes a commensal symbiosis. The answer is D, commensalism.
Answer:
The two types of motor neurons perform different activities: The upper motor neuron excites or inhibits the activity of the lower motor neuron, but the lower motor neuron always is excitatory because its axon connects directly to the skeletal muscle fibers. The cell bodies of motor neurons and most interneurons involved in the innervations and control of limb and trunk muscles reside in the spinal cord anterior horn and the gray matter zone between the anterior horn and the posterior horn. The neurons that innervate the head and neck are located in the motor nuclei of cranial nerves and in the reticular formation. Motor neuron axons form two types of motor pathways: The direct pathways are responsible for conscious control of skeletal muscle activity; the undirect pathways are responsible for subconscious or unconscious control.
