Could homio erectus reproduce?

Yes, Homo erectus had the ability to reproduce, as they were an ancient human species that lived around 1.9 million to 143,000 years ago. They had reproductive systems similar to modern humans, allowing them to pass down their genetic material to future generations.


If Neanderthals had larger brains why were they unable to compete within modern humans?

The larger brains had the result of making Neanderthals more aggressive and bullying but less cooperative. The smaller brained, cooperative, species killed off the aggressive bullies and their children.


What harmful consequences might result from naive acceptance of the myth of the ecologically noble savage?

Naive acceptance of the myth of the ecologically noble savage might lead to the romanticization or glorification of pre-industrial societies, overlooking their own impact on the environment. This could hinder efforts to address modern environmental challenges effectively. It may also perpetuate stereotypes about indigenous peoples and hinder meaningful collaboration with them in conservation efforts.


Could a human being be born with one eye?

Yes, it is possible for a human being to be born with a condition called anophthalmia, where they are born without one or both eyes. Additionally, some genetic disorders or developmental abnormalities can also result in a person being born with only one eye.


How long has modern man been on earth?

Scientists say that modern man has been on earth for over two hundred thousand years.AnswerFossil evidence so far uncovered proves that modern humans, Homo sapiens, have been on earth for over two hundred thousand years. This date could be pushed back even further, as further discoveries come to light.

Can genetic engineering be used to make a new kind of organ?

Although the idea is far fetched, genetic engineering could be one of the steps required in growing a new organ. Tissue engineering will also play a major part


What does the term genetic engineering refer to?

From the Web site of safe-food.org, genetic engineering is "a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms." Put another way, genetic engineering is "the alteration of genetic code using artificial means" (from www.globalchange.com). Genetic engineering is also called bio-engineering, gene-splicing, gene manipulation, etc. and the organisms that result from the practice are called genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


What knowledge that modern scientists now use to explain how variation occurs did Darwin's lack?

The ability to read, modify, and transform DNA is what past scientists did not have. Genetic engineering is another factor that Darwin could not explain. These are all modern scientific breakthroughs with that help of modern technology that Darwin lacked.

Who gave term genetic engineering?

The term "genetic engineering" was coined in Jack Williamson's science fiction novel Dragon's Island, published in 1951, two years before James Watson and Francis Crick showed that DNA could be the medium of transmission of genetic information.

What is a potential health problem that could arise from genetic engineering?

Sample answer: Engineered traits such as herbicide resistance could transfer to weeds and create "superweeds."


Why did genitic engineering begin?

Genetic engineering has been around for a long time, such as selective breeding of animal stocks, but the purposeful tweaking of DNA has only been around since the 1970s. For animal breeding, breeders chose the features they most liked in the animal and bred those that exhibited these features. For the more modern version, genetic engineering was started for various reasons. Genetic engineering found a way to produce artificial insulin, produced by bacteria, in order to meet the requirements of growing numbers of diabetics. Crops were engineered to withstand pesticides and herbicides so that farmers could spray the crops to kill the insects and weeds without damaging their plants.


What types of jobs in the engineering & science sector could I get with a degree in biology?

Nowadays, biology is integrated in a lot of engineering and science fields. You can find a job in genetic engineering, space studies, pharmaceutical companies, or as a lecturer if you are into teaching.
