a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one,
Answer: People who have received radiation treatment are 15 times more likely to develop benign thyroid tumors relative to does who have not.
Explanation:
Relative risk of benign thyroid tumor = (52/2872)/(6/5055)
= 0.018/0.0012
= 15
Answer:
Biologists can grow specific plants to detoxify an area contaminated with heavy-metal pollution using the method of <u><em> Bioremediation. </em></u>
To rid an area of mosquitoes, biologists introduced a species of fish into bodies of water that feed on the mosquito larvae. This method is an example of <em>Biological Augmentation.</em>
Explanation:
Bioremediation can be described as a process which uses plants or microorganisms to detoxify contaminants that are present in an area. The enzymes of a plant or animal tend to break down the contaminants and hence, we can make an area rid of contaminants in this way.
Biological augmentation can be described as a method by which organisms such as bacteria are introduced in an area to get rid of wastes.
Answer:
The most appropriate answer would be option B.
The flaw in their reasoning is that they compared different molecules in a different set of organisms.
For example, they compared the DNA of lizard A and B whereas they compared the RNA of lizard B and C.
In addition, the mutation rates of different molecules (DNA and RNA) are different and thus, comparison of DNA in one set of organism and comparison of RNA in another set cannot be used as the basis for the conclusion.
Answer:
Genetics take a long time to mutate.
