leonid [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - ethical, safety, bioterrorism and environmental concerns.

Explanation:

Biotechnology is like any other field or technology comes with its benefits and challenges. It helps in various ways but also leads to many controversies and raises concerns among people and ecologists. The main concerns of biotechnology are ethical concerns, bioweapon or bioterrorism, environmental issues, and safety.

Ethical concern deals with the use of privileged information and exploiting it, Causes ecological harm, interfering with laws of nature, making bioweapons that can kill thousands and thousand of people and organisms.

Which is not a major difference in the organization or content of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

Organisms possess two types of genome viz; prokaryotic genome and eukaryotic genome. The eukaryotic genome is possessed by cells with a well-defined nucleus, where their genetic material (DNA). The prokaryotic genome, on the other hand, lacks a membrane-bound nucleus. The major organization or content between these two genomes are:

- Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.

- Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.

- Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one circular chromosome while most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several linear chromosomes.

- In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements.

Based on this, all of the above options are TRUE

<h3>Gel electrophoresis and DNA fragments</h3>

Gel electrophoresis is a method to separate DNA fragments (or RNA and other macromolecules) based on their size and charge, involving a gel called agarose. The molecules will travel through the gel at different speeds or in different directions, which allows them to be separated from each other.

Because all DNA molecules have the same amount of charge per mass, gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments separates DNA molecules based on size only. Shorter pieces of DNA travel through the pores of the gel more quickly than longer ones do.

Epsom salts are solutes that do not pass through cell membranes. If one soaks in a hypertonic solation of Epsom salts, which of
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential  to the region of low water potential through  a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.

In this present scenario  water molecules  pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.

If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)

However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney  ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT  and CT, via  anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.
