Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

What kinds of environmental problems result from population growth in (a) developing countries and (b) developed countries? Whic
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Environmental problems result from population growth in:

a) Developing countries-

  • Air pollution due to burning of fuels and wood.
  • Water and soil pollution due to improper waste disposal.
  • Improper resource use due to illiteracy etc.

b) Developed country-

  • Overuse of natural resource
  • Deforestation.
  • Air pollution due to increased number of industries and automobiles.etc

Explanation:

A developing country is the one which is economically backward and are still combating poverty and illiteracy.

The major reason behind the population growth is illiteracy and unsafe coitus.

This results in unwanted childbirth.

The second  reason is the want for earning members to support the family.

Increasing population creates an outstanding demand of resources and creates a pressure on environment.

More and more fuels are burned and hence add up to air pollution.

Improper disposal of waste is also a major issue in these countries as most of the people being illiterate are unaware of proper ways of disposing such waste.

A developed country is at the epitome of economic growth.

The major reason behind the population growth in these country is the immigration of people from developing countries.

Being economically advance , these countries can afford best of technologies that make the utmost use of resources available.

Increase demands of settlements, industries and resources has lead to clearing of large  forest lands and deforestation.

Industries and automobiles has added up to the air pollution too.

According to me the effect of population growth in developed countries is a greater threat because these lead to overexploitation of resources by technology. more the population will grow the demand for development will also grow. Thus, this is quite difficult to control.

In case of developing countries, proper education and training will create difference to a greater extent.

A graduated cylinder contains 10mL of water. A rock is dropped into the cylinder and the water level rises to 17mL. What is the
Travka [436]

Answer:

<h3>7 milliliters or 7 cubic centimeters</h3>

Explanation:

1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter

You can measure the volume of a rock using cubic centimeters because rocks do not have a defined shaped so you have to use water displacement to find the volume of a rock. If you had a defined shape there are different methods but for an undefined shape( rocks) you use this method.

To solve all you have to do is know how much there was in the container without the rock then how much there was with the rock. Then you take the total and subtract the original measurement you had.

17-10=7 mL or 7 cubic centimeters
