By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.
A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.
The right answer is A.
Insecticides are active substances or phytosanitary preparations with the property of killing insects, their larvae and / or their eggs. They are part of the family of pesticides, themselves included in the family of biocides, both of which are regulated in Europe by specific directives.
Some pestiids such as organoclorides are broad-spectrum, ie they act on several insects at the same time (whether they are good or bad).
Answer:
Option 3, of the abiotic factors found in their environment
Explanation:
The abiotic factors such as absence of sunlight and extremely cold temperature represents picture of an extreme habitat under an ice shelf in Antarctica.
The optimum temperature requirements of bacteria for its survival ranges from 10oC to 20oC. In case, if a bacteria lives in an environment where temperature is less than -5oC or higher than 50oC, then such habitats are considered to be “habitats with extremities” as special physiological mechanisms are required to maintain the homeostasis and survive.
Likewise absence of sunlight further adds to the extremities of the habitat.
Option 3, is correct
Answer: Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state. Denatured proteins have a looser, more random structure; most are insoluble Denaturation involves the breaking of many of the weak linkages, or bonds (e.g., hydrogen bonds), within a protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in its natural (native) state.
