The number of new cases of a particular disease contracted within a defined population in a specified period is referred to as the incidence of the disease.

Population is defined as a group of similar type of organisms. This group of  organisms live in the same area, they require same resources, have similar types of habits. The most essential criteria is that they can breed and reproduce among themselves.

Incidence of a disease is the data that provides information about the number of people affected by a disease at a given period of time. The likelihood of a person getting affected by the disease can be estimated using incidence.

What process in seedless plants is analogous to pollination
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: swimming of male gametes to female gametes

Explanation:

Pollination is the process by which pollen reaches the stigma of a flower.

This transport of pollen takes place from the <u>stamens (male floral organs)</u> of one flower to the <u>stigmas (female floral organs)</u> of another flower, where germination and fertilization then take place, making it possible to produce seeds and fruits.

The analogous process in animals is the swimming of male gametes to female gametes. The male gametes, which are sperm, travel from the male genitals through the female genital tract to try to reach the egg and thus fertilize it.

In Australia, millions of nonnative cattle produce a huge amount of dung. For decades, Australia has imported nonnative dung bee
mafiozo [28]
The sentence that best explains why the native Australian dung beetles were not doing the job is "Cow dung is not part of any native Australian species niche." The beetles in Australia had formed alongside the kangaroos and wombats. When the cattle were brought to Australia in the 1880's by European settlers, the beetles were not used to the texture of the dung. It was much different and the dung was not decomposing. Native beetles were not using this dung as a feeding source. This left the cattle not feeding in the pasture because they won't eat near the dung. This reduced the cattle grazing land.

The central dogma of molecular biology is that biological information flows from?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) to protein.

Explanation:

Central Dogma is a term that refers to the two step process through which information flows from the sequence of DNA into a sequence of RNA (the process of transcription) and finally takes the form of proteins (the process of translation)

Francis Crick was the first scientist who proposed the term of "Central Dogma".

Significance of Central Dogma:

  • This is the process that ensures that genetic information of all living organisms is preserved and transmitted without any alteration or changes into their offspring.
  • It is a process that intricately explains the logical mechanism through which DNA stored in our chromosomes express themselves into functional forms called proteins.
  • This was the process which let us know the important roles of molecules like ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA and messenger RNA in the process of protein formation.
  • The process has immense importance in understanding the latest advances in RNA technology that can further help in investigation and diagnosis as well as treatment of many critical diseases.

Hope it helps!

Xenotransplantation is using nonhuman animal organs in transplantation. Many people are against this practice. What would be the
mart [117]
One of the common arguments why the process of transplanting non-human organs which came from animals may be considered as an ethical act is that antigens on the surface of the non-human organs are not significantly rejected in the process. Although its research is still substantial, it is still considered as a matter of ethical issue.
