MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance,  even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

What is the genotype of a male with red-green color blindness?
balandron [24]

Answer:

The genotype of male with red-green color blindness is XY, X chromosome possessing recessive allele of gene responsible for differentiating red-green color.

Explanation:

Color blindness is sex-linked trait and its inheritance follows criss-cross pattern. Dominant gene of allelomorpihc pair enables a person to differentiate between red and green color.

The genotype of male and female are different for the pair of sex chromosomes. Male is hetero-zygous (XY) and female is homo-zygous (XX). The gene controlling this trait is present on X chromosome.

Leokris [45]

Insect hormones and their receptors are a focus in pest control and research. Hence, Option B is correct.

Some of the insect hormones such as ecdysone (molting hormone), JH (juvenile hormone) and their analogs can be used for biological  control of pests.

Option A: Hormone receptors are proteins that bind hormones and form hormone receptor complex to maintain cellular activities.

So Option A is incorrect.

Option B: Some of the peptide hormones used in pest control and research. So Option B is correct.

Option C: Peptide hormones interact with only cell surface whereas aminoacid derivatives and thyroid hormones directly interact with nucleus. so Option C is incorrect.

option D is incorrect.

What structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?
Olegator [25]

Answer

Option C - Skeletal Muscles

Explanation

Antagonistic pairs are the muscles that are functionally opposite, if one produces flexion, then the other's primary action is an extension. Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. They contract the bone making nerves deliver a message to the brain. For example. Biceps and triceps. The lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed and vice versa.

Mice21 [21]

Correct Completed  Questions; Susan, a 67 year old female is experiencing ataxia, or poor muscle coordination. Doctors perform a neurological exam and they find that Susan is not positive for the Romberg test. Describe what these findings suggest about the sources of Susan's ataxia.

Answer:s

In order to test for balance and positioning(proprioception)   as a measure of  neurological function, or to test level   of intoxication alcohol  during driving, Romberg test is usually conducted,which can be negative or positive.It is generally used to investigate the cause of loss of motor control in individuals.

Explanation:

A positive result  showed that her  ataxia was due to loss of positioning due to loss of  sensory from sensory neurons.However if negative as in the case of Susan, then it  is to due to abnormality/dysfunctions   in the cerebellum, and not due to loss of sensory functions,
