The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

If a healthy 6-year-old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella
Valentin [98]

Administer varicella vaccine to the health 6-year old child (who does not have evidence of immunity to varicella) was exposed to a confirmed case of varicella 2 days ago.

Explanation:

It is seen that if a child receives varicella vaccine between 3 to 5 days of exposure, he is safe as disease will not appear in him and would be saved for future infections.

Varicella vaccine is given for prevention against small pox. It is expected once immunised with varicella body will produce antibodies for a span of twenty years or more.

Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of 100 offspring, 25 of them have long hair. What are the probable gen
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Ss (male) × Ss (female)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. Based on the information in this question, the allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that a guinea pig will only be phenotypically long-haired if the genotype is "ss".

According to this question, Two short-haired guinea pigs are mated several times. Out of the 100 offsprings produced by this cross, 25 of them have long hair (recessive). This means that the phenotypic ratio of this cross is 3 short hair : 1 long hair i.e. 100 - 25 = 75 short hair. 75/25 = 3/1 = 3:1

To produce this phenotypic ratio, the parents must both be heterozygous (Ss) for the hair length gene.
