Which of these values would most likely be the heritability of body mass index (BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care available to the rich and poor?

a. 0.33

b. -0.88

c. 0.99

d. 0.0001

e. 1.3

Answer:

a. 0.33

Explanation:

Body Mass Index is defined as the measure of fat depending on the height and weight of individuals. It is being calculated as: BMI=\frac{mass_{kg}}{height_{m^2}}

The most likely heritability of body mass index(BMI) in a developing country with a large gap between nutrition and health care will be 0.33.

These is because in developing countries especially countries experiencing rapid economic growth as illustrated by the annual GDP growth rate are likely to have widely ranging lifestyles due to influences of the burgeoning economy, Therefore, there are greater chances for the rich  to have access to the basic requirements and necessities of life whereas the poor are limited with either low or no access to adequate nutrition and health care.

Which far-field imaging methods can extend the diffraction limited resolution to a smaller value?
topjm [15]

Answer:

Deterministic super-resolution: The most commonly used emitters in biological microscopy, fluorophores, show a nonlinear response to excitation, and this nonlinear response can be exploited to enhance resolution, such as STED, GSD, RESOLFT and SSIM.

Stochastic super-resolution: The chemical complexity of many molecular light sources gives them a complex temporal behavior, which can be used to make several close-by fluorophores emit light at separate times and thereby become resolvable in time, such as Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) and all single-molecule localization methods (SMLM) such as SPDM, SPDMphymod, PALM, FPALM, STORM and dSTORM.

Food chains always start with which kind of organism? Question 3 options: Decomposer Consumer Carnivore Producer
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Producers!

Explanation:

Autotrophs are the foundation of every ecosystem on the planet. That may sound dramatic, but it's no exaggeration! Autotrophs form the base of food chains and food webs, and the energy they capture from light or chemicals sustains all the other organisms in the community. When we're talking about their role in food chains, we can call autotrophs producers.

What inference can be made about the availability of food, based on this passage? there was plenty of food in elizabethan englan
Cerrena [4.2K]
<span>The answer is: the winter months produced less food. 
</span>
The word "storage of food is most important" that start the passage telling that storing food in ideal condition is important.
The word "a valuable source of protein in the long winter season" signifies the need to keep the food in a long time. The reason why you need to store food for the winter season is that the land produces less food than demand, so you need to supply it from storage

ale4655 [162]
This is a case of a patient presenting with headache, malaise, and sore throat. Physical examination revealed fever (39.2 degrees Celsius), enlarged spleen, enlarged liver, and exudative tonsillitis. Diagnostics revealed leukocytosis, (+) antibodies to EBV, and abnormal liver function tests. With these salient features, the diagnosis for this patient is infectious mononucleosis. 

Infectious mononucleosis or glandular fever is a viral infection caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Also known as "the kissing disease" as this infection most often transmitted by kissing. Patients infected with infectious mononucleosis presents with severe sore throat, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphocytosis with atypical lymphocytes. EBV infection also poses a risk for developing nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
