You notice with amusement that your roommate accidentally puts on one blue sock and one red sock. how does the temperature of the two socks compare? (note: could you explain why? )

the temperature of the two socks compared are supposed to be in the same Temperature...because if they're the same kind of socks but in different colours it doesn't mean that the temperature also should be different right?

"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."
