What distinguishes a glacier from other regions that may be covered by snow?
a. a glacier is much larger.
b. most snow melts from the end of a glacier.
c. a glacier covers a large section of a continent.
d. at least some snow remains year-round in a glacier.

lol the answer is that a glacier is made up of more dense material than snow, rather than being made up with water : snow, glaciers are made up sheets of ice which are way denser and powerful so the answer is b

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
