The Physiological Implications A. Genetic Engineering Health risks of genetic engineering have sometimes been described in exaggerated‚ alarmist terms‚ implying that foods made from Genetically Engineered crops are inherently unsafe. It is also an exaggeration‚ however‚ to state that there are no health risks associated with GE. For one thing‚ not enough is known: research on the effects of specific genes has been limited—and tightly controlled by the industry. But we do know of ways in which

Physiological Psychology‚ what is it and why is it important? Physiological Psychology is as described by Kalat (1998) as the study of the physiological‚ evolutionary‚ and developmental mechanisms of behaviour and experience. It is devoted to the study of brain functioning‚ how Neurons and Glia convey messages to one another and other parts of the body for it to function and work accordingly. Future studies of physiological psychology will help predict behavioural patterns in society and how

E1/E2/E3. The social model of disability says that disability is caused by the way society looks upon things‚ rather than by a person’s impairment or difference. It looks at ways how removing barriers that restrict life choices for people with a disability.
