Use the information below to answer the following question(s). In a survey, the rate of heavy smokers was reported as 270 per 10

00 individuals.
If two individuals are randomly selected, find the probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker.

Assume that having a child with brown eyes or blue eyes is equally likely and that eye color is independent of the other children. What is the probability of having 5 children with brown eyes?

The probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker is 0.53 or 53%

<h3>What is genetic probability?</h3>

Probability serves to mathematically estimate the possibility of events that happen by chance, that is, as a matter of luck.

In this case:

Probability that selected one is heavy smoker is:

p=270/1000=0.27

Number of individuals selected  is 2 and We know that:

P(X=x)=nc_x(1-p)^{n-x}(p)^x

We need to prove that X=0:

P(X=0)=nc_0(1-0.27)^{2-0}(0.27)^0

P=0.5329

Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?
Marta_Voda [28]

the insertion on removal of mutations are dangerous in nature.  the process is basically just one large gamble to see what it does. and even though we have a decent understanding of the genomes of many animals and plants, we still dont know everything. so if we tamper with certain genes we may cause a evolution or we might kill the subject and the potential for it to procreate.

Describe two traits that represent a sustainable society
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Two traits that represent a sustainable society is an emphasis on egalitarianism - where there would be a tendency to strive towards a society of equals. Another would be an emphasis on using renewable energy. 

On the other hand, an unsustainable society would have an emphasis on using fossil fuels due to being cheaper and having an ever-increasing productions of goods, not considering how taxing this might be on the planet.

Angiosperms do not need water for fertilization. Why? (3 points) Group of answer choices Flagellated sperm travel to the ovary i
astraxan [27]

Answer:

A pollen tube grows from the pollen grain into the ovary

Explanation:

Water is needed for fertilization in several plant groups because the sperm needs to swim to meet the non-motile eggs of the female organs.

<em>However in angiosperms, the pollen germinates and a structure known as pollen tube which contains the male gametophyte (sperm) grows into the ovary where the ovule is located and the male gametophyte is deposited in the ovule to initiate the fertilization process.</em>

<em>Hence, water is really not necessary for fertilization in the angiosperms.</em>

How are proteins used in microarray?<br>write a paragraph about it​
Taya2010 [7]
Protein microarrays, an emerging class of proteomic technologies, are fast becoming critical tools in biochemistry and molecular biology. Two classes of protein microarray are currently available: analytical and functional protein microarrays. Analytical protein microarrays, most antibody microarrays, have become one of the most powerful multiplexed detection technologies. Functional protein microarrays are being increasingly applied to many areas of biological discovery, including studies of protein interaction, biochemical activity, and immune responses. Great progress has been achieved in both classes of protein microarrays in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and expanded application.
