Dr. Paul discovers a new chemical that he predicts will increase energy levels in hamsters. He designs an experiment to test his

prediction.
Dr. Paul separates 12 hamsters into two equal groups. He gives one group of hamsters the chemical but does not give the chemical to the other group. He keeps everything else about the hamsters' living environment the same.

Over the next month, Dr. Paul measures the time that the hamsters spend running on their exercise wheels each day. He then calculates averages for these measurements, which are shown in the table below.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4
Average Time Spent on Wheel by Hamsters Given Chemical 4.4 hours/day 5.1 hours/day 5.6 hours/day 5.3 hours/day
Average Time Spent on Wheel by Hamsters Not Given Chemical 3.2 hours/day 2.5 hours/day 2.8 hours/day 3.0 hours/day


The data that Dr. Paul collects during his experiment
A.
are not valid because Dr. Paul did not use a control group in his experiment.

B.
support his prediction that the chemical will increase energy levels in hamsters.

C.
contradict his prediction that the chemical will increase energy levels in hamsters.

D.
are not valid because experiments cannot be done on living organisms.

Schach [20]

Answer:

1. Cervical

2. Lumbar

Explanation:

Spinal enlargements are the conspicuous regions in the spinal cord from where spinal nerves to and from limbs exit and enter respectively. Cervical enlargement is also called the superior enlargement. It starts from C4, the fourth cervical vertebra and extends to T1, the first thoracic vertebra. Cervical enlargement is the site from there the nerve that supplies to and come from the upper limbs arise.

Another enlargement is the lumbar enlargement. It is also called inferior enlargement or lumbosacral enlargement and extends from the ninth to the twelfth thoracic vertebra. It is the site from where the nerves to and from the lower limbs arise.

Imagine a genetic counselor working with a couple who have just had a child who is suffering from Tay-Sachs disease. Neither par
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

C. "Because you have had one child with Tay-Sachs, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that means a child will acquire the phenotype or we can say disease only when both the alleles which cause disease are present in the child.

Here, in this condition neither parent has Tay-Sachs but they gave birth to a child who is suffering from the disease then it simply means that both the parents are carrier of this disease i.e. they both are heterozygous.

The cross and probability of healthy and diseased child is shown as under:

                          Mother        Father

Parents                    Tt               Tt

                              /        |          |     \

Off-springs         TT      Tt       Tt      tt

<u>Out of these 4 probable off-springs only 3 with genotype TT, Tt & Tt  will be healthy while the 1 with genotype tt will be diseased.</u><u> </u><u>So, the probability of diseased child is 1/4 which is 25%. </u>

Also, the birth of children is an independent event so if one child has already been born with this disease then it doesn't mean that the next 3 children will be healthy for sure i.e. birth of first child cannot influence the next child. In short we can also say that in the next birth, there is still 25% chance of the child being born with this disease because previous birth has nothing to do with next birth.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. many mosquitoes today are descendants of mosquitoes with insecticide-resistant characteristics

Explanation:

When insecticides were first sold, they where highly effective in killing mosquitoes but few mosquitoes will definitely survived. If these mosquitoes that survived mate together, they  will produce hybrid offspring that possess characteristics that are  insecticide-resistant. The more  insecticide-resistant mosquitoes that breed together in subsequent generations, the more permanent mutant hybrid offspring will be produced which will eventually make them to become resistant to the use of insecticides over them.
