A camel can survive several weeks without drinking water by simply eating green plants. When a camel does drink, however, it can store up to 200 liters of liquid. This feat is possible because a substance in its blood allows its body to absorb moisture much faster than a human body. This capability is an example of regulation.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
