Recombinant DNA technology is used in various medical applications including the production of insulin, gene therapy, and vaccines.

The author emphasizes that economic inequalities are a critical issue that deserves attention in policy discussions.

The passage emphasizes that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary drivers of climate change.

The kinetic theory assumes that gas molecules move in straight lines until they collide with each other or the walls of the container.

Genetic similarity is the primary basis for the classification of living organisms.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help enhance gut health and improve digestion.

Covalent bonds are the primary bond type in polymers, linking monomers together.

A zero error occurs when an instrument does not read zero when it should, often due to incorrect calibration.

AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is a virus.

Habitat destruction is the primary cause of biodiversity loss, as it leads to the loss of species and ecosystems.

Buoyancy is primarily caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of an object submerged in a fluid.

Capillary action is primarily caused by adhesion, where the liquid molecules are attracted to the surface of the solid.

Greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, are the primary cause of global warming.

Ocean acidification is primarily caused by the increased absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere into ocean waters.

The primary cause of ocean currents is wind patterns, which drive the movement of water across the surface.

Surface tension is primarily caused by cohesive forces between liquid molecules, which create a 'skin' at the surface.

The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases.

Capillarity is primarily caused by adhesion, which is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the solid.

Buoyancy is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of an object submerged in a fluid.

Capillarity is primarily caused by adhesion, which is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the solid.

The primary cause of tides on Earth is the gravitational pull of the moon.

Tuberculosis is primarily caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Viscosity arises primarily from molecular interactions within the fluid, which resist flow.

K-selected species typically exhibit high parental care and invest more resources in fewer offspring.

The primary characteristic of a redox reaction is the transfer of electrons between species.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon where molecules adhere to the surface of a solid or liquid.

Alkaline earth metals typically have a +2 oxidation state due to the loss of two electrons.

Amorphous solids have short-range order but lack long-range order, unlike crystalline solids.

Baroque art is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, emotional intensity, and a sense of movement, reflecting the complexities of the human experience.

Gases have high compressibility due to the large spaces between particles, unlike solids and liquids which have definite shape and volume.
