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.

Intermediate photographs should show the relation of evidence to other parts of the crime scene. A. True B. False​
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

<em>"adjective </em>

<em>adjective: intermediate </em>

<em>coming between two things in time, place, order, character, etc."</em>

Pictures correlating to the crime scene are like puzzles to find out the other meanings or cause of another picture.

For example:

A opened jug of milk sits on a table.

There's a blurred figure of a hand hitting the jug.

The jug is now laying on the table, dripping everywhere.

-

If we take out the middle picture "There's a blurred figure of a hand hitting the jug.", then we would not know what hit it over. Did someone bump into the table? Did a cat climb onto the table and release its almighty strength onto it? All we would know that it was once standing upright.

TLDR; Without intermediate pictures, it would be hard to grasp what happened on the scene. Intermediate pictures all have something in common with each other to help interpret what occurred to the viewer.

- Why are cars and trucks today powered by petroleum products?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Due to structure of engine.

Explanation:

Cars and trucks today powered by petroleum products because of their engine which only works when the petroleum products are used. When the petroleum products are burn in the engine, it produces small blasts which moves the piston and as a result the wheels of the car also start movement. Petroleum products are economically cheap due to its higher availability on the earth, easily available to the people, can be easily transported are the factors that make us use of petroleum products.
