A scientist performed an experiment on mice. Her results are posted below. Lung Cancer in Mice Experiment Group Duration of Ciga

rette Smoke Exposure Number of Cases of Lung Cancer 1 0 days 0 2 500 days 3 3 1,000 days 27 4 1,500 days 32 After analyzing her results, she stated that a mouse must be exposed to more than 500 days of cigarette smoke before the mouse can get lung cancer. Do you agree with the scientist's conclusions?

Answer:

Scientist's conclusion might be wrong and needs to be probed further with experiments

Explanation:

In the experiment the mice was observed first at day 0 and then directly at day 500. When the scientist found 3 mice suffering from lung cancer at day 500 she gave the conclusion that the mice need to be exposed for 500 or more days for developing lung cancer. But there is a huge duration gap of 500 days between her first and second experimental group. The mice could have developed cancer anywhere between 0 and 500 days so now she needs to break this duration into smaller gaps and repeat the experiment to narrow down the result. She needs to expose the mice to smoke at varying duration between 0 and 500 days. After she gets a result in this second experiment, she needs to further narrow down the gap till she arrives at a definite conclusion.

No; some mice may have developed lung cancer in less than 500 days of cigarette smoke exposure.

Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
melomori [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

6. What are proglottids? What is the scolex?
Nataliya [291]

Explanation:

Proglottids are segments in cestodes that contain bot the male and female reproductive organs. These segments go ahead to make eggs and then dettach form the worm. They are excreted and become agents of infection on the next hoist. Proglittids formed near the neck of the worm are immature while those at the tail end are literally bags of mature eggs.

The scolex is the head of the worm that is attached to the host. It is also the part that ‘sucks’ nutrients from the host. It has hooks that it uses to anchor itself in the host. In some species, rather than hooks, there are suction-cups that use suction for anchorage.
