Abiologist finds out that the fruit fly, drosophila, makes a protein in its eyes that has a very similar structure when compared to a human protein that was just discovered in the newly sequenced human genome. the biologist concludes that the human protein might be important for the proper development and working of the human eye. which unifying theme in biology is illustrated in this example?

The correct answer will be- comparative genomics.

Explanation:

Comparative genomics is a fundamental tool in which the DNA sequence and the whole gene set of a genome of two different organisms are compared.

The comparison is done to measure the difference and common genomic features by comparison of gene order, gene loss, horizontal gene transfer, duplication and gene regulation.

Since in the given question, the genome of Drosophila and the humans were compared to identify the conserved functional elements throughout genome therefore, comparative genomics is the correct answer.

a few examples of ethical concerns involving genetically engineering of humans include

-privacy of genetically tested people

- potential side effects

-long term effects

starchy vegetables are high in carbohydrates.

starchy vegetables contain more carbohydrates than non-starchy vegetables.

explanation:

there are two primary categories of carbohydrates, essentially differentiated on the basis of their carbohydrate content (which is in the form of starch - a complex carbohydrate):

those vegetables which contain little amounts of starch are termed as non-starchy vegetables, and some examples include: artichokes, broccoli and bean sprouts.

vegetables high in their starch content are distinguished as starchy vegetables, and some examples include: potatoes, chickpeas and corn.
