Answer: B. Heartwood does not conduct water; sapwood is active in fluid transport.

Heartwood is a wood that is found in the center of the wood whereas, the sapwood is found at the periphery. The color of the heartwood is dark because it accumulates the nutrients, water and minerals in it but does not allow the transport of these substances to the overall tree or plant. The sapwood is active in distribution of these substances to the overall tree and plants. Therefore, is lighter in color.

ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project

EXPLANATION:

Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.

The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.

However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.

In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.
