friendly pesticide. But here the pesticide will not be tested on the adult insect‚ but it will be tested on the larva of the insect. Soybean‚ a species of legume native to East Asia‚ will be compared to the controlled larvicide. Soybean has an inhibitor that slows down the growth of an animal that makes it a possible larvicide. Here you will see the effect of the soybean extract on the larva of a certain insect. Background of the study: The dengue fever virus is a danger to the health of the Filipinos

that determines how living organisms look or work. They also control the manufacture of proteins in a cell. There are about 35 000 genes found in almost every healthy cell. Scientists are constantly conducting experiments on genes. Genetic modification is one of such experiments. Genetic modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the genetic structure or DNA of an organism in order to give it new abilities and produce a desired effect. Organisms that are modified with DNA from another organism

P 3–4: Just One‚ Inc. Just One‚ Inc.‚ has two mutually exclusive investment projects‚ P and Q‚ shown below. Suppose the market interest rate is 10 percent. The ranking of projects differs‚ depending on the use of IRR or NPV measures. Which project should be selected? Why is the IRR ranking misleading? Using the IRR method will result in project Q being selected over P due to its higher rate of return. Using the NPV method would result in choosing project P because of its higher NPV.
