Studies of existing cells to determine the minimum number of genes for a living cell have suggested that 206 genes are sufficient. If the ratio of protein-coding genes is the same in this minimal organism as the genes of Escherichia coli (0.980), how many proteins are represented in these 206 genes?

Embryonic stem cells are cells derived from an embryo. these cells can be used to create new tissues for patients suffering from certain illnesses and disorders. which statement best summarizes why the use of embryonic stem cells could be seen as unethical? a. some people consider embryos to possess rights equal to those of fully developed human beings. b. extracting stem cells from embryos is a very energy-intensive process, which consumes resources that could be used elsewhere. c. embryos are difficult to obtain, so the monetary cost of using them for research outweighs their benefit. d. the process of extracting stem cells from embryos generates biohazardous waste that cannot be safely disposed of.
