The snapping turtle shown above, lives in a small farm pond, where its major prey is largemouth bass. in turn, the bass primarily eat emerald minnows. this snapping turtle weighs 40 pounds. if the pond has 10 mature snapping turtles of this size, how many pounds of minnows are required to support them? [use the 10% law across each trophic level.]
a) 400
b) 4,000
c) 40,000
d) 400,000

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
