<span>The answer is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (feces) by use of a microscope.  The major disadvantage is that it is not very accurate because it is not a 100% reliable as an indicator of colorectal cancer. Sigmoidoscopy is often undertaken following a positive FOBT</span>

Read the scenario.
babunello [35]

Answer:

The cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

Explanation:

We have, A cyclist starts at a position of origin. He takes 3 s to move east to a position of +8 m. He then cycles west to a position of +5 m which takes an additional 2 s.

It is required to find the cyclist’s displacement. Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it or it is given by the difference of final to the initial position.

Finally, he cycles west to a position of +5 m. Distance between final and initial position is +5 m.

Hence, the cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

12. A plant has a dominant phenotype but an unknown genotype. The proper experiment to determine its correct genotype would be a
jekas [21]

Answer:

the correct answers are as follows

12:

b. Testcross- an organism with dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with homozygous recessive organism for the same trait. Based on the results obtained, if all offsprings have the same phenotype, then the parent is homozygous, but when a 1:1 ratio is observed in the offsprings, then the parent is heterozygous.

13.

e. Watson and Crick- they both used the crystallographic images from Franklin, analyzed them to first elucidate the 3D structure of the DNA and propose it to the world.

14.

c. Intracellular and commonly found in the cytoplasm- the receptors of steroid hormones are generally present within the target cell either in the cytoplasm or nucleus, since they alter gene expression.

15

e. Certain prokaryotes/bacteria- this is a process that will enable disease-causing pathogens to communicate and cooperate with their group, by the release of autoinducers that increase their cell density.

What is the difference between a GMO and cloning
viktelen [127]

Answer:

A GMO Genetically Modified Product though similar to cloning is quite different. Cloning is the process of using egg cells from an individual to produce a new organism. When the baby is born, it is genetically identical to the parent, an exact copy. This process occurs in a lab. Genetic Engineering, which is used to make GMOs,  uses technology to alter or change an organism's genes. New genetic information can be added to or removed from an existing set of DNA.

<em>So I would say that some of the differences between GMOs and cloning include that:</em>

Cloning strives to create exact copies of an organism's parent while GMOs remove and add different genes to form desired offsprings like making a product last longer or making the product grow larger faster.

Hopefully, this helped you! Have a nice day :)

Provide evidence to reject this statement, "Human phenotypes are usually a clear cut either situation"
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Wavy hair is a very easy example that this is false.  It's a merge between straight and curly hair.  Our traits tend to mix and blend together, it's not so simple.  Everybody isn't just tall or short, one or the other.  Everybody is a different height because it's a mid between your parents.
