Answer:

There is 97% Chance that the person is infected.

Explanation:

According to the question, the test for the virus has 3% false positive and there is no false negative rate.

Therefore if someone takes the test and gets a positive result, the chances of the person to be infected ( True positive ) is

100 - 3 = 97%

Note: False positive result is a result that indicates that a given condition is present when it is not actually present.

Answer:

The answer is 97%.

Explanation:

The zika virus' 1% incidence rate in the population has no effect over the probability of the patient being infected or not. If the test has a 3% false positive rate that means that if it is positive, the results have a 97% chance of being true. Therefore the chance that the person who took the test and had a positive result being actually infected is 97%.

I hope this answer helps.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

(a) an aquaporin  

Explanation:

An aquaporin is a water channel which forms a pore in  the cell membrane and facilitates the movement of water. Aquaporin is an integral membrane protein (permanently attached to the membrane) that enables the in and out flow of the water. This channel also prevents the passage of ions and other solutes, so it cannot change the voltage. There are four types of aquaporins, and they are mostly found in the kidney with the function of water reabsorption.
