During any outbreak or whenever problems occur, there are
always three major steps to take.
1. First, is the containment action. In this step, actions
are taken to reduce or lessen the severity of the people affected. This aims in
isolating the disease. In this step, scientific knowledge is used in making
decision on what containment actions to take.
2. Second is the corrective action. This step focuses
solely on formulating medicine to treat the disease. Once again scientific
knowledge is used in creating those medicines.
3. Third is the preventive action. To prevent this disease
outbreak from recurring, certain actions are made to ensure this does not
happen again.
Answer:
(A) Her parents should've taken her to the emergency room.
Explanation:
When a young child has a high fever, I believe they're supposed to be taken in immediatley
Answer:
According to Dr. Ray Schiling (member of the American Academy of Anti-aging medicine) about 1.5 million people suffer from peanut allergies. The seeds of peanut (<em>Arachis hypogea</em>) contain an array of allergens that can induce the production of IgE specific antibodies predisposed individuals. Ara1 and Ara2 are most common seed storage protein that cause allergy. Other allergen proteins such as Ara3 to Ara 17 have also been identified that cause allergy.
Entry of peanut allergen into body
When peanut allergens enter the body of an individuals it leads to development of different symptoms like itchy skin, tingling sensation, nausea, runny nose and anaphylaxis.
Allergic response
There are two subsets of T-cells Th1 and Th2. Both invoke different response to allergens. Th1 direct a non-allergic response while Th2 direct allergic response ranging from releasing of histamine to anaphylactic response. The presence of IL-12 cytokines direct a Th1 based, nonspecific response.
Mechanism of allergic response (interaction between helper T cell and B cell)
Step 1.
When allergen enter to body they are encountered by B cells. Immunoglobulin receptors on the surface of B cells recognize antigen (Peanut allergens) and get attached, which are then internalized and processed. Within B cells the fragments of antigens combine with HLA class 2 proteins.
Step 2
HLA class 2 with antigen fragments (peanut allergens) then display on the surface of B cells.
Step 3
Receptors on the surface of helper T cells recognizes the complex of HLA class 2 and antigen fragments (peanut allergen) and is activated to produce cytokines, which activate the B cells.
Step 4
B cell is activated by cytokines and begins clonal expansion. Some of the progeny become anti-body producing plasma cells while other become memory B cells.

1) The man is heterozygote and has freckles, its indicating that the allele for freckles is dominant.
A cross between him and a woman who is also </span><span>heterozygote: Ff x Ff
it would result in the following probabilities:
- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff
Their son would have a probability of 75% of being born with freckles.
2) The cross resulted in this probabilities:
</span><span><span>- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff
So, the chance of being born heterozygote for this gene is 2/4, which is the same as half (50%).

Answer:
B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability
Explanation:
Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:
Coefficient of coincidence (COC) = ADRF / EDRF
where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency
and EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency
In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
