ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project

EXPLANATION:

Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.

The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.

However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.

In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.

Answer:

Sulfur; nitrogen.

Explanation:

Acid precipitation results when sulfur and nitrogen compounds react with water in the atmosphere.

This acid precipitation is also known as acid rain and it is typically caused by the chemical reaction between sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide which are released into the air as a result of burning fossil fuels, with water and other chemical elements present in the atmosphere.

Generally, acid precipitation (acid rain) usually have a pH of about 5.1 or below and as such, it is very acidic nature i.e possessing a large amount of hydrogen ions.

Hence, acid precipitation (acid rain) when washed to the earth has negative or harmful effects on various living and non-living organisms such as animals, plants, cars, buildings etc.

In the complete oxidation of glucose, six CO2 molecules are formed per glucose molecule. The number of CO2 molecules released by
Serga [27]

Answer:

0, 2, 4

Explanation:

The process of cellular respiration takes place in for phases which oxidizes the glucose molecule to the provide energy molecule called ATP.

Along with ATP, the process releases the metabolic water and carbon dioxide gas. In the oxidation of one glucose molecules, about 6 molecules of CO₂ are released. These CO₂ molecules are produced in the following manner:

1. Glycolysis: CO₂ gas is not produced during this reaction but only ATP and NADH are produced.

2. Pyruvate decarboxylation: the process converts the pyruvate produced by glycolysis to Acetyl-CoA. Formation of 1 Acetyl-CoA produces 1 CO₂ and since 2 Acetyl-CoA is produced therefore produces 2 CO₂ molecules.

3. Citric acid cycle: The cycle converts 2 Acetyl-CoA and produces 4 CO₂ in two cycles converting each Acetyl-CoA.

Thus, 0, 2, 4 is correct.
