What do the arguments for and against the use of stem cells in medical research share?

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: Stem cell research can potentially help treat a range of medical problems. It could lead humanity closer to better treatment and possibly cure a number of diseases:

Parkinson’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease

Heart Diseases, Stroke and Diabetes (Type 1)

Birth Defects

Spinal Cord Injuries

Replace or Repair Damaged Organs

Reduced Risk of Transplantation (You could possibly get a copy of your own heart in a heart-transplantation in the future

Stem cells may play a major role in cancer

Better treatment of these diseases could also give significant social benefits for individuals and economic gains for society

Cons

"We should not mess with human life."

"Humans should not be trying to play God"

Some argue that stem cell research in the far future can lead to knowledge on how to clone humans. It is hard to say whether this is true, but we have seen devastating consequences of other research-programs, even with good intentions, such as nuclear research.

Part A - Independent assortment of three genes A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid

Effectus [21]

<h2>Law of independent assortment </h2>

Explanation:

There are 8 distinct phenotypes, each one has a 12,5% of appearance: Since M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.

Recessive gene characters can only be taken in homozygous recessive mmddpp.

1. MmDdPp: M=solid leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.

2. MmDdpp M=solid leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.

3. MmddPp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.

4. Mmddpp M=solid leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.

5. mmDdPp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height P= smooth skin.

6. mmDdpp mm=mottled leaves D=normal height pp= peach skin.

7. mmddPp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height P= smooth skin.

8. mmddpp mm=mottled leaves dd=dwarf height pp= peach skin.

Hence,The answer is all eight possible phenotypes from the cross MmDdPp x mmddpp are equally likely, resulting in a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1

What’s the difference between absorption and digestion?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Absorption is the process of absorbing nutrients in the form of molecules into the blood. Therefore, this is the key difference between digestion and absorption. Digestion starts in the mouth while absorption starts in the stomach. Moreover, digestion occurs from mouth to intestine while absorption mostly occurs from the stomach to intestine.

Which of the following conditions leads to maximal expression of the lac operon?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Lactose present, glucose absent.

Explanation:

Lac operon may be defined as a cluster of genes that regulate the metabolism of lactose in bacteria. The bacteria always prefer glucose if both glucose and lactose is present in the medium.

The conditions that causes the maximal expression of lactose is the presence of lactose and absence of glucose. This is due to the action of catabolite activator protein and cyclicAMP.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
