Suppose concordance data were collected from a cohort study of twins to study the genetic contribution to the onset of type 1 di

abetes, also called juvenile diabetes. Both monozygotic (identical) twins and dizygotic (fraternal) twins who grew up together in the same household were included. The concordance rate was found to be 68 % among monozygotic twin pairs and 5 % in dizygotic twin pairs.What general conclusion about type 1 diabetes can be drawn from these results?a. There is low penetrance of the type 1 diabetes phenotype. Therefore, genetic and environmental effects cannot be estimated.b. The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment. c. No results can be drawn because too many potential variables are present in the study to make a reliable conclusion about how twins develop type 1 diabetes. d. The environment plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than genetics, indicating that heritability is likely low.

Answer:

The heritability of type 1 diabetes is likely high, indicating that genetics plays a larger role in the development of type 1 diabetes than the environment.

Explanation:

Identical twins are formed when a single zygote separates into two embryos after the process of fertilization. Hence, these twins arise from the same egg and sperm.

Fraternal twins arise when two different sperms fertilize two eggs at the same time.

Hence, we can say that the genotype of the identical twins is similar.

The results from concordance data prove that genetics play a higher role in type 1 diabetes.

A student is working on a lab where they are trying to identify an unknown substance. the student decides to smell the solution
Rasek [7]

Complete question:

A student is working on a lab where they are trying to identify an unknown substance. The student decides to  smell the solution by taking a big breath over the test tube. They immediately start to cough and their lungs are  burning.

  • PRECAUTION:
  • RESPONSE:

Answer and Explanation:

Many chemicals might be recognized by their smell. Some of them might be inoffensive, some others might cause slight damage and some others might be very harmful to the person that inhales them.

In the exposed example, the solution probably damaged the respiratory tract, causing inflammation and irritation.

There are some issues to take into account to avoid an accident by inhaling a chemical:

<u>Precaution</u>:

  • Study the security rules of the laboratory
  • Always read the label of the substance
  • Ask the teacher or the person in charge, about the correct procedure
  • Proceed in the correct way, by driving the smelly vapors with your hand toward your nose. Never breathe directly over the test tube.

In case of accidents by inhaling you should:

<u>Response:</u>

  • Take the affected person out of the laboratory
  • Look for an airy place where the affected person might breath
  • Call an emergency service
  • Explain exactly what the affected person did and the chemicals that the person inhaled.
