You are conducting a case control study to determine if an association exists between melanoma and indoor tanning. From a statew

ide cancer registry, you identify 1,107 people who were diagnosed with melanoma in the last three years. You select 1,500 controls for your study. Through a follow-up survey, you find that 696 of those with melanoma had a history of indoor tanning. 48.2 percent of the control group reported no exposure to indoor tanning.
(a) Calculate the odds ratio.
(b) Interpret your results.

Answer:

a. Odds ratio = 1.58

b.  Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning

Explanation:

For case  study                                                  

Let 'a'  represent the total population of people with melanomia = 696                                                      

Let 'b' represent the total number of people with melanomia exposed to indoor tanning  =  1107 – 696 = 411 people

For  control study

Let 'c' represent the total population = 1500

Let 'd' represent the total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning = 1500 - (0.428 * 1500)

                                                          =  1500 - 723

Total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning   = 777 people

                                                       

a. Odds ratio = (a/b) / (d/c) = (696/411) / (777/723)

                                                = 1.69 / 1.07 = 1.58

b. Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning.

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid
Ket [755]
Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm. 

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.
