Answer:

The correct answer is that it involves human embryonic stem cells (ESC).

Explanation:

Stem cells are regenerative and differentiating cells which can develop into any type of cells even after they remain inactive for a long time. They are the first differentiation cells of embryo proper which are formed just after the fertilization.

The research on these Embryonic stem cell (ESC) is a reason for legal and ethical issues which led to the social controversy after the first successful culturing of human  ESCs in the laboratory in 1998 by James Thomson and John Gearhardt as "it destroys the embryos to obtain the pluripotent ESCs.

Thus, it involves human embryonic stem cells (ESC) is the correct answer.

It's controversial because the best source of stem cells is a human embryo (an aborted fetus).

How can cells from the same organism have such different shapes and functions?
Savatey [412]

Answer: As each cell differentiates, the <em>DNA </em>changes so that each type of cell has different <em>DNA</em> once it reaches maturity. Mutations in the cells’ nuclei lead to new combinations of <em>DNA</em>, resulting in different shapes and functions in the different types of cells.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.
