c. using personal genetic data to discriminate against people d. abusing animals to access their data
Explanation / Answer
Ans.16) “a”
(In our body there are 10 times more microorganisms present than the cells.)
17.) “c”
(With the help of information generated from the Human Microbiome Project, it could be easier for scientist to understand the probiotics.)
18.) “b”
(The different protein feature of breast cancer subtypes could be used as biomarkers. These biomarkers are useful in screening, diagnosis and treatment.)
19.) “b”
(Proteomics provide an insight about the protein expression in a particular cell during particular time period. Hence, offer information about the evolution and development.)
20.) “c”
(Most important and current ethical concerns associated with Genomics is the use of it to categorize people on the basis of their genetic information.)
