2. Was there any noticeable effect on the germination rate of the radish seeds as a result of the pH? Compare and contrast the growth rate for the control with the alkaline and acidic solutions.

3. According to your results would you say that the radish has a broad pH tolerance? Why or why not? Use your data to support your answer.

What are the risks and benefits of cloning? 2. What are some potential uses for cloning? 3. Could you envision using cloning technology in your own life? If so, how?

/0 Comments/in /by

It all started with a sheep named Dolly. In the mid-1990s, scientists proved convincingly that after decades of trying, we could, indeed, clone mammals — and even possibly, human beings. Unsurprisingly, this discovery was one of the most controversial of the 20th century, and the issue of cloning continues to be just as contentious today.

Cloning

Then respond to these big issues:

1. What are the risks and benefits of cloning?

2. What are some potential uses for cloning?

3. Could you envision using cloning technology in your own life? If so, how?

4. What are some of the ethical problems with cloning?

5. How do you feel about cloning animals? What about humans?

6. Should cloning be regulated? If so, by whom?
