Suppose that you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (TB) in St. Petersburg on January 1st, 2018. You enrolled 200 residents

in your study and checked on their TB status on a monthly basis. At the start of your study on January 1st, you screened all 200 residents. Upon screening, you found that 10 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 10 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1st. On February 1st, two residents developed TB. On April 1st, three more residents developed TB. On July 1st, three of the residents who had existing TB on January 1st died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2018. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up.
What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st?

Answer:  5%

Explanation:

The Prevalence rate is the term used to describe the percentage of a population that have contacted the disease being tested for. It is usually done over a certain period or a certain time.

The prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st therefore is;

= Number of infected/ No. of Tested residents

= 10/200

= 5%

How is the absorption of ultraviolet light by DNA and RNA important in the analysis of nucleic acids? A. Nucleic acids absord UV
qaws [65]

Answer:

B. Nucleic acids absorb UV light maximally at wavelengths of 254 to 260. Proteins absorb UV maximally at 200 nm. Using this phenomenon, one can to determine the presence and concentration of nucleic acids in a mixture.

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution of nucleic acid  can be determined by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm, using a  spectrophotometer. An A260 of 1.0 is equivalent to a concentration of 50 μg/mL for double-stranded DNA, or 40 μg/mL for single-stranded DNA or RNA. If the A280 is also determined, the A260/A280  ratio indicates if there are contaminants present, such as residual  phenol or protein. <u>The A260/A280 ratio should be around 1.8 for pure  DNA and 2.0 for pure RNA preparations.</u>
