When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

samples of different blood specimens. If samples from three people are combined and the mixture tests negative, we know that all three individual samples are negative. Find the probability of a positive result for three samples combined into one mixture, assuming the probability of an individual blood sample testing positive for the virus is 0.03.

Answer:

The best way to approach this type of problem is to use the "complement method" ...  

P(positive result) = 1 - P(negative result)  

= 1 - (1 - 0.03)^3  

= 1 - 0.97^3 = 0.087327 or 8.7%

Answer:

0.087

Explanation:

Given -

Probability of positive blood sample for an individual is equal to 0.03

Number of sample is equal to three

Now , probability of getting a positive result for three sample combined into one single mixture is equal to

1 - (P)^ 3

where P represents the probability of getting all individual negative test result

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get

P_{mixture} = 1 - (1-0.03)^3\\P_{mixture} = 1- (0.97)^3\\P_{mixture} = 0.087

During the process of photosynthesis,
TEA [102]

Answer:

d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.

During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.

The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.

How is selective pressure related to evolution?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Selective pressure can be a driving force of evolution; option A.

<h3>What is selective pressure?</h3>

Selective pressure refers to external forces which affect an organism's ability to survive in a given environment.

Selective pressure can either decrease or increase the occurrence of a trait.

Therefore, selective pressure can be a driving force of evolution.
