Rank the uses of biotechnologies A - E in order from MOST ethical to LEAST ethical.

A. Using reproductive cloning to clone family pets that have passed away.

B. Using recombinant DNA and gene cloning to produce insulin protein to treat diabetic patients.

C. Creating genetically modified strawberries that are larger and can be sold for a higher price at the grocery store.

D. Programming stem cells to become nerve cells so that researchers can conduct experiments.

E. Creating genetically modified corn that is resistant to insects so that pesticide chemicals do not have to be sprayed.

A. Using reproductive cloning to clone family pets that have passed away.

Explanation:

Ethics in biotechnology are based on six important factor such as safety, liberty, justice, environmental nature, human nature, and religious beliefs.

The Use of recombinant DNA and gene cloning to produce insulin protein to treat diabetic patients doesn’t affect such factors in a negative way and helps in saving lives which is important. This makes it the most ethical.

Using reproductive cloning to clone family pets that have passed away is the least ethical because it poses a threat to the environment as it deals with a dead body and some religious and safety concerns too.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
