Answer:

Advantage: better information

Disadvantage: discrimination

Explanation:

The advantage of being tested and knowing one status as regard a particular disease is that one is better informed and equipped with the necessary tool that ensures his or her well-being. On the other hand, testing for a disease could lead to many other things such as low self esteem, depression and most especially discrimination from the society as many people may not want to associate with someone who has a particular genetic disorder.

Why can an animal survive longer without food?
AnnyKZ [126]
It depends on the type of animal, but if, for example, you're talking about one lower on the energy pyramid (like a chicken, for example) then this is because of the energy distribution. When an animal consumes something else, it absorbs about 10 percent of the energy of that creature. 

So, lets say a plant has 1000 units of energy. Then a bug comes along, and eats the plant, absorbing 100 units (10 percent) of that energy. Then, a chicken eats the bug, absorbing only 10 units of that energy. Finally, a human eats the chicken, getting only 1 unit of the original energy. 

The reason that something like a bug has to eat less than a human, is because it gets more energy directly from the plant.
