Lerok [7]
I believe that all the above are ethical concerns regarding genetic engineering. Ethics is the study of moral or socially acceptable behavior. With the advent of genetic engineering and the ability to modify the genome of various organs, many ethical questions arise concerning the various scenarios and possibilities. There are many ethical concerns regarding genetic engineering in plants, animals, and humans. One of the ethical concerns regarding genetically modified plants used for food is whether the nutritional value will be sacrificed in favor of a higher yield or drought resistantancy.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. helps process explicit memories for storage.

Explanation:

The hippocampus is an structure of the brain and is located inside the temporal lobe. The main function of the hippocampus is to mediate the generation and recovery of memories in conjunction with many areas spread across the cortex and with other areas of the limbic system. It helps to process and recover the episodic memory (those related to events) and spatial memory (mode in which we perceive space or dimensions). This organ is also where short-term memories become long-term memories, that is, it acts as a mediator of memories, acting as an activation node that allows different memories distributed across different parts of the brain to be activated.

What would happen if sister chromatids were not pulled apart at anaphase 2​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer and Explanation: Nondisjunction occurs when sister chromatids are not pulled apart at anaphase II. This will cause both sister chromatids/ homologous chromosomes to be pulled to just one pole of the cell.

Since the anaphase I stage in Meiosis I occurred without errors, this would result in four haploid gametes being produced.

However, two of these gametes will be normal, will have the normal number of chromosomes. The other two gametes would have an abnormal number of chromosomes and be aneuploid. One would have n+1 number of chromosomes, and the other would be n-1.

Which normal cell characteristic is represented by the production of insulin in the beta cells of the pancreas? Select one: a. C
pychu [463]
Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas for storing and disposing of the glucose in various parts of the body like liver. This activity is a differentiated function of the beta cells of pancreas only. Although gene for insulin production is present in all cells, it is expressed only in the beta cells. Hence, it is a differentiated function.
