A follow-up study was conducted on 3000 military troops deployed at an atomic test site in Nevada to detect the occurrence of le

ukemia. A total 1870 people were successfully traced by investigators, and 443 contacted the investigators on their own as a result of publicity about the study. 4 cases of leukemia occurred among the 1870 people traced, and an additional 4 occurred among those individuals who contacted investigators on their own. Could this be subject to bias?

Answer:

The probability of the study result being subject to bias while interpreting -------- it's a YES

Explanation:

Probability of Leukemia

A. Among traced group

= 4/1,870 persons.

B. Among self-reported group

= 4/443 person.

We can deduce

A higher rate of occurrence in self-reported group which could be causesd by fear of leukemia occurrence or suspicion of their previous exposure at atomic sites

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion? Osmosis is the movement of particles from a high to a low par
Luba_88 [7]
<span>Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low particle concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high to a low water concentration.
</span>
It's actually really simple:
1) Diffusion simply means liquid or gas particles spreading out. They spread out from the area where most of the particles are orginally located. In other words they thus spread out from a HIGH CONCENTRATION area to a LOW CONCENTRATION area. 2) Osmosis is LITERALLY just DIFFUSION OF WATER. HOWEVER, you MUST use the word 'osmosis' when referencing such diffusion of water.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a form of dwarfism that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This particular form of dw

A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
