@@@Answer is 0.50. @@@This is a little tricky, but you have to gather/calculate with numbers to figure this one out. If a person tests positive for the disease what is the chance that he or she actually has the disease is different from if the person actually has disease, what is the chance that they test positive for the disease. The order matters a lot.

Here are the numbers:
Assume there are a total of 100 people who actually have disease.
Since this is the 1%, there are total 10000 - 100 = 9900 people who don't have disease.
From the 100 diseased people, 99 test positive, and 1 negative.
From the 9900 non-diseased people, 99 test positive and 9801 negative.

People who test positive (99 + 99), the chance actually having disease is 99 / (99+99)

Classify the structures as homologous or analogous , depending on their structure and function
Vesnalui [34]

1) The limbs of a bat and the forelimbs of a bird is an example of Analogous structures

2) The arm of a human and the arm of chimpazee is an example of Homologous structures 

3) Frogs and salamanders is an example of Homologous structures

<span>Homologous structures, are organs or systems of different living beings that have a common origin, but different adaptations. For example, the extremities of a dog and a dolphin, are homologous, have similar bones, only that some adapted to the race and others to swimming. On the other hand, analogous structures are organs or systems of different living beings that do not have a close origin in common, but are adapted to the same environment, for example, fins of fish and dolphin fins, the function is the same, the origin is different; or the wings of birds and the wings of insects.</span>
