Respuesta
-
The sum of all of the reactions occurring in the body
-
How quickly you can digest food
-
The rate at which you respire
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Why do changes in temperature and pH affect respiration?
Respuesta
-
Because respiration is controlled by enzymes
-
Because muscles are slower when they're hot
-
The oxygen content in the air changes in different pHs
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
What are the ethical issues with cloning animals?
Respuesta
-
people think it's wrong to interfere with nature
-
cloning animals will cause mutants that revolt against humans, e.g. the wererabbit
-
Cloning people will make someone that is not a real individual and that is wrong
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
Cloning plants is easier because plant cells retain the ability to differentiate
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
The first stage of genetic engineering is to insert a gene into another organism

Pregunta
What are the ethical issues of genetically engineering?
Respuesta
-
People are worried about the health risks of genetically engineered food
-
People are worried that genetically engineered food wont taste nice
-
People are worried that genetically modified plants/animals will disrupt the natural ecosystems
-
Some people think it's morally wrong to create new life forms or move genes between species
-
Some people are worried that the animal will lose connections with its friends if it is genetically modified and its friends aren't
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
Nuclear transfer can be used to clone animals
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
What are the uses of cloning animals?
Respuesta
-
Mass producing animals with desired characteristics, e.g. cows that produce a lot of milk
-
Producing lots of animals that have been genetically modified to provide human products
-
producing human embryos to provide stem cells for research and therapy
Pregunta 22
