The use of DDT as a pesticide is an example of how new technology can have favorable and dangerous long-term outcomes. How does

this relate to the use of DNA technology? Only positive outcomes can result from new technology in science. Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences. There is no connection because they are different technologies. Scientists should not use new technology; they should use the methods for pest control that are already available.

The right answer is Scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the consequences.

DDT is a potent insecticide: it kills by opening the sodium channels of insect neurons, destroying them instantly, leading to spasms and then death. Some genetic mutations acting on the sodium channels can make some insects resistant to DDT and other insecticides working on the same principle.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has categorized DDT into the B2 class, that is, potential carcinogen for humans. This supports the fact that the insecticide acts on human DNA.

The correct statement is that scientists should conduct long-term studies of DNA technology to determine the outcomes.  

DDT refers to a potent insecticide, which kills by opening the sodium channels of insect's neurons, damaging them instantaneously, resulting in spasm and then death. The researchers should conduct the experiments to make sure that these pesticides will not harm other species, mainly at a molecular level, as this could influence the whole species of the organism.

Which island has the greatest number of unique mammal species?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Luzon Island, in the Philippines has the greatest number of unique animal species.

Explanation:

Researchers have shown that out of 56 species of non-flying mammal species that are now known to live on the island, 52 live nowhere else in the world. Of those 56 species, 28 were discovered during the course of the project. Nineteen of the species have been formally described in scientific journals, and nine are currently “in the works.” Currently 93% of the island's land land mammals have been found no where else.

Además de Dalton, ¿qué otros científicos propusieron nuevas ideas y modelos del átomo?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Otros científicos incluyen: Niels Bohr, J.J. Thompson, Ernest Rutherford, James Chadwick y Ernest Schrodinger

Explanation:

 El modelo de Bohr se centró en el núcleo del átomo rodeado de electrones que giran a su alrededor. J. J. Thompson propuso electrones rodeados por alguna carga positiva para equilibrar el poder de los electrones que estaban cargados negativamente. El modelo de Ernest Rutherford propuso que los protones y los neutrones residían dentro del núcleo del átomo con los electrones distribuidos alrededor del núcleo. A James Chadwick se le atribuyó el descubrimiento de neutrones (que poseen carga neutral) en su modelo, contribuyendo así al modelo atómico. Ernest Schrodinger avanzó el modelo de Bohr al indicar claramente los orbitales a través de los cuales los electrones giran alrededor del núcleo de un átomo.

iris [78.8K]

This is an example of co-evolution.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

In co-evolution one species or a number of species evolve according to the changes in another species. Here the evolution of the beak of humming bird according to the shape of Ossifloramixta flower is an example of co-evolution. Co-evolution is common in the nature.  

Bees, insects and butterflies commonly co evolve with the flower plants and  vice versa. Co-evolution is of two types. The first type is specific co – evolution where only two parties are involved in co-evolution. In the second type of co-evolution namely diffused co-evolution many species evolve in response to specific traits in a species.
