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.

snow_tiger [21]

Asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores. They are produced by one parent only and are genetically identical to that parent (Mitosis).

Sexual reproduction in the fungi has three stages plasmogamy, karyogamy, and meiosis.

Explanation:

AR: Spores may be dispersed by moving water, wind, or other organisms. The spores far from the parent organism. This helps to ensure that the offspring will not have to compete with the parent for space or other resources.

SR: Sexual reproduction occurs when spores from two parents fuse and form a zygospore.
