Sequencing with devices such as the minion can be used to study individual organisms. however, researchers sometimes also study the genetics of an entire community in an environmental sample (metagenomics) without distinguishing individual organisms. why would researchers study the metagenome of an entire community in this way rather than separating out individual species

The study of interaction between living organisms and their enviroment is called (a) phytogeography (b) ecology (c) phytosociology (d) ecosystem

Be in this im starting a with you so if you want you can get a partner for this. but basically im going to assign you guys a biome and you have to have a big sheet paper and you will turn it into 4 squares. the top right square is will be a drawing square for a drawing you will make of your biome. the top left square is about the biomes plants and drawings of them. the bottom left square is about the biomes animals. the bottem rights square is about the description of the biome. leave a comment or an answer and i will assign biomes. if your request one thats the one you get. send me a link to the project and i will grade ! im not a teacher btw.

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.
