A biology class is conducting an experiment to determine how soil pH may affect the germination of pine seedlings. Three pine seeds are placed in a pot of soil with a pH of 6.5, and three pine seeds are placed in a pot of soil with a pH of 4.0. After one week, the students count the number of seeds which have germinated and determine the mass of each pine sprout. Which of these is the BEST way to improve the accuracy and validity of the data in this experiment?

the answer for this question would be d. glaciers

d) center of the mid-ocean ridge

"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."
