Make a list of the potential benefits and harms that might arise from knowing your complete genome sequence.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.

Explanation:

a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.

b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance, even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

Ierofanga [76]

First we can look at the taxonomic order:

Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

The largest level would be the one closest to the top of the list because it is the least specific and therefore the most inclusive. Out of the choices given, phylum is closest to the top, so that is the answer.

A hypothesis is a ___.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

A hypothesis is a tentative/ preliminary statement of the relationship between two or more variables. It is a specific, testable prediction about what you expect to happen in a study.

Explanation:

In science, the hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then experience/test through study and experimentation. Outside science, theory or guess can also be called a hypothesis. The hypothesis is nothing more than an unbridled, wild guess but less than a well-established theory.

So, we can conclude that The hypothesis is a simple statement that defines what you think the outcome of your experiment will be.

Hope this helps.. 

Good Luck!
