The correct answer is option c, that is, people voting not to allow government money to fund genetic modification research.  

The scientists from the Food and Drug Administration had continuously warned that the genetically modified foods can develop hard to detect and unpredictable side effects, like toxins, allergies, nutritional issues, and new diseases.  

The GM plants, like corn, soybean, canola, and cottonseed, have had foreign genes forced into their DNA. The inserted genes come from species, like viruses and bacteria that have never been in the supply of human food.  

The genetic engineering procedure develops massive collateral destruction, making mutations in several locations all through the DNA of the plant. The natural genes can be permanently turned off or deleted, and many may have modified their behavior.  

Even the gene inserted may get rearranged or damaged, and may produce proteins, which can promote disease or initiate allergies.

Dovator [93]
Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere naturally when organisms respire or decompose (decay), carbonate rocks are weathered, forest fires occur, and volcanoes erupt. Carbon dioxide is also added to the atmosphere through human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and forests and the production of cement

Which country's colonists maintained a profitable fur trade in North America
Tom [10]

Answer:

The North American fur trade was an industry and activity related to the acquisition, trade, exchange, and sale of animal furs in North America. Aboriginal peoples in Canada and Native Americans in the United States of various regions traded among themselves in the pre–Columbian Era. Europeans participated in the trade from the time of their arrival in the New World, extending the trade's reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada during the 17th century, while the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. North American fur trade was at its peak of economic importance in the 19th century, and involved the development of elaborate trade networks.

The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and consequently lost much of the political influence they once had.

A client with untreated type 1 diabetes mellitus may lapse into a coma because of acidosis. an increase in which component in th
kap26 [50]

The answer is an increase in ketones. High ketones in the blood from diabetes type I causes diabetic ketoacidosis. Due to the insensitivity of cells to insulin (or lack of production of insulin in the body by the pancreas), the cells are unable to take in glucose for metabolisms, hence the body breaks down fatty acids and amino acids for energy. The metabolites of fatty acid metabolism and the deamination of amino acids are ketones (keto acids) that decrease the blood’s pH.
