An important method for controlling the spread of the h6n2 influenza (bird flu) virus in chickens is having a procedure to deter

mine whether chickens are infected with the virus. it is common to apply a procedure, called an elisa test, to measure the concentration of anti–bird flu antibodies in a blood sample taken from a chicken. if the elisa test reveals a high-enough concentration of antibodies, the chicken is said to test positive, and it is classified as infected with the virus. otherwise, the chicken is said to test negative, and it is classified as not infected. however, the elisa test is a complex procedure that is not always accurate. one type of mistake, a false positive result, occurs when the elisa test gives a positive result for a chicken that is not infected with the virus. a second type of mistake, a false negative result, occurs when the elisa test gives a negative result for an infected chicken.

If we consider the positive possibility of false negative and false positive for tests on individual chicken. Veterinary have developed a procedure to determine if the H6N2 virus is present in the flock of chickens. The veterinary select ten chickens randomly from the flock and perform Elisa test of the blood sample from each and every one of the ten chickens. 
By the conclusion of the veterinary if the H6N2 virus presents in flock if three out of ten chickens have positive Elisa.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability of false negative and false positive results is present in Elisa. But bird flu is a contagious virus, so relative testing in a known number of chickens in flock is used to get accurate results.

<h3>Explanation.</h3>

h6n2 influenza is a contagious virus of chickens. It highly spread in the flock via infected individual.

So if we want to test the influenza virus in the chickens. We will take a control, a healthy chicken from not that flock and then compare the Elisa results of flock chicken with test of healthy individual.

If 30 to 40% of results are positive,there means there is influenza virus in flock.

10. Researchers observe a large population of birds on a remote island. Birds in the population are found to have either red cre
IgorLugansk [536]
Suppose that the proportion of the white crest alleles (r) is given by w and that of the Red crest allele (R) is given by p. We have that p+w=1. The probability that an individual has 2 r alleles is given by w*w since for each allele position the probability is w. Only these individuals have a White phenotype. Hence, we get that w^2=\frac{1759}{1759+11088}; the right hand side is the proportion of white birds in the total population. Doing the calculations, this yields that w=0.37. From this, we calculate that p=0.63. The possible ways we have heterozygous individuals are the combinations Rr and rR. The probability for each of those is p*w. Thus, the total probability is 2pw. This is equal to 0.466=0.47. This is the fraction of the future population that is going to be heterozygous assuming the conditions of the Handy-Weinberg equilibrium like random reproductive matching etc.

Cells that are active in protein
Ghella [55]

Answer: Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place.

Explanation: Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins. For example, rapidly growing cells usually have a large number of ribosomes
