Despite having access to medicare, the elderly spend about ________ of their income on health care

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]4 years ago
4 0
The answer is fifth. This is because the increase in expenditure is reflected in the increasing cost to the federal and state governments of operating the Medicare and medical programs as well as in the increase in out-of-pocket payments made by the elderly. As a consequence health care financing has become one of the more critical policy issues to be addressed.

4. How does energy release from the sun reach Earth? How does the sun's energy interact with Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The heat source for our planet is the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through the earth's atmosphere to the earth's surface. Since this energy warms the earth's surface and atmosphere, some of it is or becomes heat energy. There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere:

   <u>radiation: </u>Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. If you have stood in front of a fireplace or near a campfire, you have felt the heat transfer known as radiation.

   <u>conduction:</u> Conduction is the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance. Have you ever left a metal spoon in a pot of soup being heated on a stove? After a short time, the handle of the spoon will become hot.

   <u>convection: </u>convection is the transfer of heat energy in a fluid. This type of heating is most commonly seen in the kitchen with a boiling liquid.

In a given homologous chromosome pair, how many recombinant chromatids are generated by a single crossover event?
Firdavs [7]

In a given homologous chromosome pair, two recombinant chromatids are generated by a single crossover event.

Homologous chromosomes are the chromosomes that possess the same genes at the same loci and also have the same structure. One chromosome of the homologous pair is paternal while the other is maternal.  Crossing over even takes lace between homologous chromosomes only.

Crossing over is the event that involves the interchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Due to this event, the offspring receives genes from both the parents. The exchange of genetic material occurs between two non-sister chromatids in crossover, hence two recombinants are obtained.

To know more about crossing over, here

If a SARS-CoV2 virus were to mutate and become and become better at attaching to respiratory cells, how would natural selection
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Mutations leading to the better attachement of virus to the host cell would allow the virus to spread the infection and leave more progeny. The reproductive fitness of mutant viruses would allow the mutation to spread.

Explanation:

1. The organisms with same resource requirement compete with each other. Viruses are not living things but once inside the host cell, they behave like living things. Rapid multiplication of virus overpopulate the host cells.

2. Genetic variations are added to the viral progeny by random errors during replication of the viral genome. These random variations may  impart beneficial trait, harmful feature or remain neutral. If a random mutation in the SARS-CoV2 virus allows it to adhere better to the cells of the respiratory system, the virus would be better able to infect these cells to spread the infection. Once inside the host cells, the mutant virus would leave more progeny. On the other hand, the wild type virus that lack this mutation would  have lesser chances of entering the host cells and may or may not replicate.

3. The progeny of the mutant virus would compete better with the non mutant ones due to the presence of same mutation.

4. Differential reproduction and more progeny of the mutant virus would spread the mutation among the virus.
