Scientists have observed that in the Antarctic ecosystem Adélie and Chinstrap penguin populations have decreased in the past 40

years by about half. However, Gentoo penguin populations have remained steady and are possibly increasing. Increasing ocean temperatures in the Antarctic is resulting in less sea ice and less krill because krill depend on sea ice.
Which statement, if true, BEST explains why Gentoo penguins have a survival advantage in the changing Antarctic environment?

A.
Adult Gentoo penguins average about 0.5 kilograms more in weight than adult Adélie and Chinstrap penguins.

B.
Leopard seals prey heavily upon juvenile penguins.

C.
Gentoo penguins eat more types of prey than either Adélie or Chinstrap penguins.

D.
Penguins spend a large amount of their energy on keeping warm during harsh winters with very low temperatures.

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.
