Directions: Identify and list ten (10) biological issues on the space provided. Write your
answer in the second column. Discuss your answer with your partner.
Biological Issue How biological research may solve it

1. Biodiversity - Maintaining balance of the

ecosystem because we obtain
provision of medicines and
pharmaceuticals and especially
source of our livelihood.

2. Global warming - Researchers find a way to mitigate

global warming is the natural
climate solution which is the
conservation, restoration, and
improved management of land so
that it can prevent emission of
gases.

3. Endangered species - They obtain biological samples for

research as well as backup
resources in order to preserve
genetic diversity. This sample can
help to restore and recover
endangered wildlife with the use of
genomic insight and reproductive
technologies.

4. Pollution - By controlling the humidity level

especially at home it can reduce the
growth of other sources of
biologicals.

5. COVID-19 - Scientists develop different types of

vaccines in order to reduce pain
when someone will hit that virus and
you’ll just feel a mild condition.

6. Ocean Acidification - The researchers focus on

economically and ecologically
important marine species. They
conduct research on survival ,
growth, and physiology of marine
organisms that is useful to discover
 new aquaculture, wild fisheries and
food webs may change as ocean
chemistry changes.

7. Genetic conditions - In these cases, enzyme replacement

therapy is very helpful to make up
for enzyme shortage. These
treatments are useful to manage
existing signs and symptoms that
can help to prevent future
complications.

8. Fertility and the environment - Researchers find out that ricotine is

proven to be a potent pro-oxidant to
the biological samples like
spermatozoa population and able to
alter the fertility potential of man
through inducing membrane
impairments, altering the GSH
metabolism cycle, also inducing the
DNA fragmentation.

9. Gene Editing - It uses enzymes, specifically

nucleases that have engineered to
target a specific DNA strands,
enable to remove the existing DNA
and the insertion of replacement
DNA.

10. Medical technology and ethics - It helps to treat and prevent

diseases such as Ebola vaccines to
mapping human DNA to agricultural
impacts, medical biotechnology in
making huge advances and help
millions of people.
