Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways
to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality
of his life. Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus
human population. A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern
industry, the waste products of which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of
how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance.
Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the
need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine
the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. For although many of
man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in
nature, they have biological ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself.

C. discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms
D. effects of genetic engineering misuse
Question 40: What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage?
