A head injury happens due to trauma to the brain or skull and classified as close or sometimes penetrating. It may occur right away or develop slowly. An example is contusion which is the answer on this scenario. This is called mild traumatic injury caused by a blow on the head yet none of the tissue of the brain is torn.
Answer:
they will gather quantitative Data, using a thermometer and a balance.
Explanation:
This experiment is a type of quantitative research.
Quantitative Reseach:
Studies the effect of an independent variable on dependent variables by collection of quantifiable data that can be subjected to mathematical or statistical tools to draw conclusions.
The students will need a thermometer and balance to note the variation in the temperature of water in the aquarium and to measure the weight/mass of the duckweed respectively. Plotting these values against each other on a graph will give the effect of temperature on the rate of growth of the duckweed.
Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.
This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.
Thus, only option B is true.
Answer: option C) cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus
Explanation:
Cowpox is a skin disease that affects cattle. It is caused by an Orthopoxvirus, with lesions occurring principally on the udder and teats of the animals.
Human infection may occur from touching infected cows, and thus giving immunity to smallpox (an acute infection caused by the same poxyvirus, in HUMANS)
So, Jenner's successful use was because cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus
