An engineer is building a new steel skyscraper in a area with a lot of Earthquakes, Compare two systems (fixed based system and base isolated system) and choose which one would be better.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

In sheep, the allele for belly fur (a) is dominant to the allele for no belly fur (a). a mother with the genotype aa and a father with the genotype aa produce an offspring.

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are different in many ways other than the presence or absence of a nucleus. if both archaebacteria and eubacteria are prokaryotic cells, then why are archaebacteria more closely related to eukaryotic cells than they are to eubacteria?
