The complete question is :

As an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of a drug suspected of causing malformations in newborn infants when the drug in question is taken by pregnant women during the course of their pregnancies. As your sample you will use the next 200 single births occurring in a given hospital. For each birth a medication history will be taken from the new mother and from her doctor; in addition, you will review medical records to verify use of the drug. [N.B.: These mothers are considered to have been followed prospectively during the entire course of their pregnancies, because a complete and accurate record of drug use was maintained during pregnancy.] The resultant data are: Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. Of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. In addition, 10 other infants are born with malfunctions. What is the relative risk between exposure to the drug and malformations?

Answer:

14

Explanation:

  • The relative risk is a measure that is used to calculate or compare the likelihood or the chance that an event would occur while comparing the two groups.
  • To calculate the relative risk, the probability of an event occurring in one group is compared with the probability of the event occurring in another group and this is done by dividing the probability of one group by another.
  • The value of relative risk is always either zero or greater than zero but it cannot be negative.
  • The value 1 indicates neutrality.
  • The probability of an event = no. of favorable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
  • For the given question, 35 mothers out of 40 delivered infants that were malformed, so the probability of delivering malformed infants is 35/40.
  • Out of the 200 births, 40 have occurred so total births left is 200 - 40 = 160
  • Therefore, the probability of the second event is 10/160.
  • Therefore relative risk is = (35/40)/(10/160) = (0.875/0.062) = 14

In Darwin's Theory of Evolution, adaptation means that all organisms adapt to their environment.

True, this is because Darwin realised that organisms best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their characters to their offsprings.

In pea plants, tallness (T) is dominant to shortness (t). What is the predicted genotypic ratio of the offspring if a homozygous
tino4ka555 [31]
First, to answer this question, you need to draw a Punnett square. So you put the homozygous short alleles (tt) on top of the square, and the heterozygous tall alleles (Tt) on the left side of the square (or vice versa, it doesn't really matter).

When you create the Punnett Square, you then perform the cross between the two plants' alleles. I cross t with T and that gives me Tt. Same with the next one, t and T becomes Tt. Then, I cross t with t and that gives me tt. Same with the next one, t and t becomes tt.

So, the answer here would then be c. 50 percent Tt, 50 percent tt. You might say, well, couldn't answer d also work? Answer d could only work if the question was asking for the phenotypic ratio of the offspring. Then you could say 50% tall, 50% short. But the question asks for the genotypic ratio, so it would instead be c. 50 percent Tt, 50 percent tt.

Hope this helps!

In a few sentences, describe how you would design an experiment to determine whether elephants can detect and interpret the call
miss Akunina [59]

"If I heard a herd of elephants talking to one another and being together regularly, I would capture their noises. Then I would play them into the ground at a separate spot far away from the herd of elephants. I would observe the elephants' reactions while I recorded them by playing various recordings through the ground (ex. if they freeze in place when they feel the vibrations, how they react afterwards, etc.). To compare and analyze the elephants' behavior, I would record this information and repeat the procedure several times."

Behavior- The reactions of a complete live organism to internal and/or external stimuli are internally coordinated behaviors.
