Answer:

C. The village probably cannot afford a desalination plant.

Explanation:

Desalination may be defined as treating water to make it consumable for human use and drinking purposes.

A desalinated plant separates the saline or salt water in two streams. One is fresh water stream for drinking and farming and the other contains dissolved salts.  

The setting up of a desalinated plant is very demanding and costly and the running cost is also huge. It takes a lot of energy and resources to set up and run a desalinated plant.  

Thus in the context, the village would not be  able to afford a desalination plant.

A normal man and normal woman marry. What is the chance that they will produce a male child with Down's syndrome?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The chance of a normal couple having a child with down syndrome is 1 to 600 births.

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic flaw that occurs when the fetus is being formed.

A human cell considered normal has 46 chromosomes, divided into 23 pairs. For some unknown reason, an error may occur at the beginning of embryonic development and an extra chromosome is created, which binds to par 21. The result is cells with 47 chromosomes. This causes the said syndrome.

It is important to know that this failure happens at random. It is nobody's responsibility. It has not been proven to date that lifestyle, actions during pregnancy, smoking, drinking, medicines, environmental factors or kinship between the couple can influence this occurrence. She is not contagious either. The likelihood of a normal couple having a child with the syndrome is approximately 1 to 600 births.

One example of how applied science has had a direct effect on daily life is the presence of vaccines. Vaccines to prevent diseas
Mashutka [201]

Vaccines are a boon in eradicating various lethal diseases and increase the immunity of the people. The development of vaccines started with the understanding the cell itself, various pathways that regulate its fate. The immunology, a branch of biological science, gave the idea of the working of the defense or the immune system of the body, and of the various specia cells that function for it. This led us to the discovery of antibodies and antigens. Vaciines are artificial means of injecting antigens into the body to generate antibodies beforehand, so that the immune system remembers producing it at the time disease causing agent strikes us.

Thus, we can summarise that STEM research or core science research has led to innovations that have shaped our lives and lifestyle to contribute to an overall good social health.
