Answer:

Poor research could potentially impact the health and welfare of the public.

Explanation:

Scientific studies are generally believed to be based on thorough research. This implies that members of the public always trust scientific publications and rely on same as a source of accurate and trustworthy information.

Science, being empirical in nature is believed to eliminate bias in its research and reportage of studies. Scientific research publications is often a source of information for field practitioners in diverse disciplines as well as the general public.

Poor research will mislead a large section of the public, both professionals in that field as well as laymen. This poor research could potentially impact the health and well being of members of the public negatively because they may be led to believe false information which can be disastrous. This is the reason why ethical guidelines are needed for the way scientific information is communicated.

Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<u>The microscope that would be best suited to study the inner structure of the chloroplast would be the electron microscope.</u>

<em>The electron microscope has a high magnifying property due to the fact that it uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination, unlike the light microscope that uses visible light. While the light microscope might be enough to see the inner portion and the organelles of the cell, the tiny nature of the inner structure of the chloroplast means that the light microscope will not be able to view the details. A more powerful microscope like the electron microscope would be required.</em>

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Promoter 2

Explanation:

Promoter 2 is the best choice because the resistance gene will only be expressed in the leaves of the corn plant. Promoter 3 only expresses genes in the corn roots, so the toxin would not be available in the leaves for the pest to eat. Promoters 1 and 4 would express the resistance gene in the leaves of the corn plant, but the toxins would be expressed in the corn cobs as well, which may then be fed to livestock.

Answer:

B. Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

When natural selection acts against the extreme phenotypes but favors intermediate variants, it is called stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection is mostly operative in the population s that are well adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions. Individuals with average or intermediate phenotypes are favored by stabilizing selection.

In the given example, the elk population maintains the antler size over generations. Most of the elks have intermediate-sized antlers while only a few have larger or smaller antlers. Since the average antler size (the intermediate phenotype) is favored over the extreme ones (larger or smaller sized antlers), the population is experiencing stabilizing selection.
