<span>A certain virus infects one in every 200 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time if the person has the virus and 5% of the time if the person does not have the virus. (This 5% result is called a false positive.) Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive".

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''The scientific study of heredity''

Explanation:

Genetics is a branch of biology that studies how hereditary characters are transmitted from generation to generation and the diversity that exists among living beings. Inheritance is the physical and biological characteristics that we share with our family and that can determine our appearance and our biological characteristics, that is, our phenotype (eye color, skin type, etc.) as well as our internal characteristics. All of this is largely derived from our genetic components, that is, our genotype.

The correct answer is rapids and waterfalls.  

Rapids refers to the segments of streams with extensively vigorous currents, various obstacles, and steps in their streambeds. A waterfall refers to a vertical drop in a stream bed. Both are the locations of vigorous erosion.  

The rapids are generally produced where the resilient bedrock limits a stream to a narrow channel and forces an enhancement in the velocity of water.  

On the other hand, waterfalls are produced where the fast-flowing water negotiates a geologic contact amid the more resilient and less resistant layers of rock, or through a fault, which has analogized distinct kinds of rocks. Or it can be said that waterfalls usually produce at the end of a series of rapids.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

"As a molecule moves through the plasma membrane it passes through <em>a hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then a hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads".</em>

Explanation:

Biological membranes are formed by two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans.

Lipids characterize for being amphipathic molecules, which means that they have both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion at the same time. These molecules have a lipidic head that corresponds to a negatively charged phosphate group, which is the polar and hydrophilic portion. They also have two lipidic tails that correspond to the hydrocarbon chains -the apolar and hydrophobic portion- of the fatty acids that esterify glycerol.

Membrane lipids are arranged with their hydrophilic polar heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells, while their hydrophobic tails are against each other, constituting the internal part of the membrane.

Through this lipidic bilayer, some molecules can move from one side of the cell to the other, which happens because of concentration differences. When this occurs, molecules must pass through the hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads then through the hydrophobic layer of phospholipid tails and then again through another hydrophilic layer of phospholipid heads.
