Genetic engineering:Pros: produces more food, makes organisms more fit, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Some say it's: playing God, dangerous due to recombination of DNA, contamination of the gene pool, big pharma could take over the "means of production".
In-vitro fertilization: Pros: Allows people who couldn't have children to do so, increases knowledge and knowledge is good.Cons: Expensive (really expensive), can lead to overpopulation (minor), can be done irresponsibly (minor as everything can be).

What is the answer to this question?"explain two difficulties an ecologist might have in counting a population of migratory bird
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.</span>

Humans and mice have similar genomes. In fact, researchers have found thousands of genes that exist in both mice
Svetach [21]

Answer:

mice and humans share virtually the same set of genes

Explanation:

Almost every gene found in one species so far has been found in a closely related form in the other. Of the approximately 4,000 genes that have been studied, less than 10 are found in one species but not in the other.
