In the scenario give above, the disease reservoir is the PARROT and the possible transmission method is INDIRECT CONTACT THROUGH AIR.
Disease reservoir refers to a source of a particular pathogen in an environment. A disease reservoir can be a person, an animal or an inanimate object like soil. In the case given above, the parrot is the disease reservoir and it passes the disease pathogen to the student. Pathogens are transmitted through four distinct ways, these are: direct contact, indirectly through the air, indirectly through contaminated object and through vectors. The disease pathogen was possibly passed to the student when the parrot was talking via tiny mucus droplets that escape from the bird's mouth.

Do you think smoking has negative effect on fetal development?
n200080 [17]

Smoking during pregnancy affects your and your baby's health before, during, and after your baby is born. The nicotine (the addictive substance in cigarettes), carbon monoxide, lead, arsenic, and numerous other poisons you inhale from a cigarette are carried through your bloodstream and go directly to your baby. Smoking while pregnant will:

<span>Lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing babyIncrease your baby's heart rate<span>Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth</span>Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weightIncrease your baby's risk of developing respiratory problems</span>

The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. There is no "safe" level of smoking for your baby's health.

The cytochrome c in both horses and pigeons differs from the human protein at 12 locations. Based on this data, you might infer
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Cytochrome c is an enzyme found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Here it is given that the human amino acid sequence for cytochrome c differs at 12 locations from the sequence in horses and pigeons. This information might be useful for inferring in preliminary stages that horses and pigeons are closely related to each other since they both show similar amount of difference from humans.

However, this hypothesis is being made with respect to the the comparison between "humans and horses" and "humans and pigeons". To further test this hypothesis pigeons and horses should be directly compared to each other without the use of a third species like humans. Hence, the sequence for cytochrome c in horse and pigeon should be compared with each other rather than comparing to humans.

A population of mice has black or brown hair. The gene for black hair color (B) is dominant over brown (b). If 16% of the mice a
astraxan [27]
If B and b are the two alleles , B + b = 1 and B ^2 +2 Bb + b ^2 = 1.

If 16% of mice are homozygous black , B ^ 2 =0 .16, meaning B = 0 .4 and b = 1 - 0. 4 = 0 .6 .
Answer = Notice how you don't even need to know that 24% of the mice are heterozygous .
