Answer to #1

F

Answer to #2

The ways in which computers will impact agricultural research include:

1 . Computer simulation models will greatly shorten the time necessary for conducting tests on new methods.
2 . They will allow data to be analyzed in greater quantity, more thoroughly, and in a shorter time.
3 . Electronic banks of data will provide access to variables of almost any type.
4 . Connections with other discoveries can be found and new applications suggested.

Answer to #3

Genetic engineering may make it possible for a machine to pick strawberries by developing strawberry plants that grow taller, with berries that grow on longer stems and are not so fragile. This will make it simpler for engineers to build machines that can pick strawberries.

Answer to #4

The two main problems with using bacteria to make drugs include:

1 . Expensive factory and laboratory facilities must be built in order to obtain the drugs.
2 . The process of purification takes a lot of time and effort, as well as expense.

Answer to #5

The two problems with mechanical replacement valves are:

1 . Mechanical valves tend to damage the blood cells as they travel in the heart and through the valve.
2 . Mechanical valves tend to accumulate blood residue, which leads to the valve sticking, which can cause death.

Answer to #6

The two ways that the DNA of the organ recipient may be used to improve the chances of successful transplant include:

1 . Genetic transfer could take place and an animal with the recipient's DNA could be grown and ready within six months.
2 . The gene that controls DNA rejection could be identified and turned off.
