How can scientific knowledge impact a decision about treating a disease outbreak?

Biology
1 answer:
andreyandreev [35.5K]3 years ago
6 0

During any outbreak or whenever problems occur, there are always three major steps to take.

1. First, is the containment action. In this step, actions are taken to reduce or lessen the severity of the people affected. This aims in isolating the disease. In this step, scientific knowledge is used in making decision on what containment actions to take.

2. Second is the corrective action. This step focuses solely on formulating medicine to treat the disease. Once again scientific knowledge is used in creating those medicines.

3. Third is the preventive action. To prevent this disease outbreak from recurring, certain actions are made to ensure this does not happen again.

Classify each RNA post-transcription processing event according to whether it occurs in prokaryotes or eukaryotes.
tigry1 [53]

'RNA is transcribed and translated in the cytoplasm', 'transcription produces an mRNA ready for translation' and 'RNA is proofread for errors' occur in prokaryotes, whereas '5′ cap, 3' poly-(A) tail and RNA splicing' occur in eukaryotes.

The prokaryotic cells (e.g., bacterial cells) do not contain cell nuclei, thereby the messenger RNA (mRNA) must be transcribed and translated in the cytoplasm.

During prokaryotic transcription, the RNA transcript is proofread for errors. In bacteria, DNA polymerases proofread the transcript by using their 3’ → 5’ exonuclease activity.

In eukaryotic cells, RNA processing consists of several mechanisms:

  • A 7-methylguanosine cap (5′ cap) is added to the 5′ end of the precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA).

  • A 3' poly-Adenine (A) tail is added to the 3' end of the pre-mRNA.

  • Both the 5′ cap and 3' poly-(A) tail protect the RNA transcript from its degradation by exonucleases.

  • Eukaryotic RNA splicing consists of the removal of non-coding regions called 'introns' and subsequent splicing of the protein-coding regions called 'exons'.

What do waves not take with them as they move
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

well A is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another. Waves can transfer energy over distance without moving matter the entire distance. For example, an ocean wave can travel many kilometers without the water itself moving many kilometers. The water moves up and down—a motion known as a disturbance. I hope dis helps :3
