applications of biotechnology in the field of agriculture and medicine are:
Antibiotics are created from the plants for human and animal use. An antibiotic protein in stock feed is more cost-effective than traditional antibiotic production.
It helps in the production of genetically modified crops that produce crops with desired characteristics.
Gene therapy is used for the diagnoses of diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
Genetic testing is another technique that is used to diagnose any genetic diseases in theparents.
DNA fingerprinting is used in the identification of criminals and solving paternity disputes.

Winds are light at the equator because of the weak horizontal pressure gradients located there. The warm surface conditions result in locally low pressure. ... At this latitude surface high pressure causes the air near the ground to diverge.
I believe the answer is D.
<u>Answer</u>:
1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.
b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.
Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):
A. the genus or generic name
- written first
- always underlined or italicized
- the first letter is always capitalized
ex. <em>Canis</em>
B. the specific epithet or species name
- is written second
- always underlined or italicized
- never capitalized
ex. <em>lupus</em>

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
