Exercise 5 - Part 3
Use the word given in CAPITALS and brackets to form a word that fits in the gap.
Some of the gaps might have more than 1 answer, in that case, the system will detect it as incorrect, but will provide all the possible answers.
In recent decades, scientists have moved beyond merely observing nature to actively (0) redesigning (DESIGN) it. Synthetic biology is a groundbreaking field that combines engineering principles with genetics to create new biological parts. One of its most (1) (SIGNIFY) goals is the production of artificial organs for transplantation. Currently, thousands of patients suffer due to the critical (2) (SHORT) of human donors. Engineered tissues could potentially eliminate this problem entirely. Additionally, researchers are developing custom-made microbes capable of breaking down plastic waste, offering a revolutionary solution to global (3) (POLLUTE). However, this rapid technological progress has sparked intense ethical debates. Critics express deep (4) (ANXIOUS) regarding the potential misuse of such technology. The accidental release of a modified organism into the wild could have (5) (SEE) ecological consequences. Therefore, international oversight is absolutely (6) (ESSENCE) to prevent disaster. Striking a balance between scientific freedom and safety is a (7) (TROUBLE) task. Nonetheless, the potential benefits to medicine and the environment are too vast to be ignored (8) (COMPLETE).
