Answer:

Genetic modifications to livestock would most likely suit to increase their longevity and marketability.

Explanation:

One of the bigger problems facing livestock is disease. Genes for bacterial resistance would likely increase the yield of livestock over time. Additionally, livestock raised in hot/cold climates could benefit from genes that adapt them better to these conditions. For example, cattle raised in hot conditions would benefit from genes that increase sweating or decrease passive water loss like through defecation.

Additionally, tailoring livestock to consumer desires would increase marketability, and therefore profit. For example, an ideal steak has a set fat content. Genetically modifying cows to maintain this fat content would increase the value of its meat.

Why rapid binge drinking is more dangerous than slower consumption of alcohol?
Tpy6a [65]
The same way we never inject a full bag of anything quickly and intravenously. Your body would not be able to compensate for the amount of the substance. Alcohol or more importantly the Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol in alcoholic beverages is the active ingredient of such beverages. It is also a drug called a CNS (Central Nervous System) depressant which means it is in the same class category of Opioids (Such as Heroin and Morphine) and Barbiturates (Rophynol). Your body processes alcohol via the liver, as it is also considered a toxin. By consuming a massive amount of alcohol without spacing it out, you will overload your system, not only literally overwhelming your liver and causing Alcohol Poisoning, but you also can go into a state similar to a Heroin overdose.
