Re-posting some old information I found on this website

When a fungus infects a body, it attacks the host by destroying and often taking over cells. When a person has an allergic reaction (to anything) the substance triggers the body to send histamines and excess water to the affected area, swelling and closing the area to prevent infection. - Answer Provided by ChaoticPiece

Suppose an enzyme that is involved in cellular respiration is assembled by a ribosome. where will this enzyme need to be transpo

Needs to be transported to the mitochondria or the cytosol.


There are four stages of cellular respiration: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of a cell,while the pyruvate oxidation and the following steps take place in the matrix of the mitochondria. If the enzyme is involved in cellular respiration, it need to be in one of these places.

Ber [7]

The answer is studying for a test because you want to feel proud of your performance. Intrinsic motivation means you do something for the sake of your internal feelings/motivation, not based on something or someone external like a paycheck or significant other.

A geneticist is studying two genes. each gene can be either dominant or recessive. a sample of 100 individuals is categorized as

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Attached is a table. I found the exercise on another page on the internet and the sample of 100 individuals was categorised on a table - easier to understand than as it is presented here.
"(a) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant" - We should first add up all of the individuals that are dominant for gene 1 (56+24) and then divide it by the total number of individuals (100).
 $\frac{56+24}{100}$ =0.8
The probability is of 8 in 10 individuals.
"(b) what is the probability that a random sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant" - Follow the same logic as in the previous question.
 $\frac{56+14}{100}$ =0.7
The probability is of 7 in 10 individuals.
"(c) given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant" - Because we are considering those that are dominant for gene 1, our total number of individuals is the total individuals that are dominant for gene 1 and not the whole 100. Once we have this restriction, and we want to know the probability that gene 2 is dominant in these individuals, we should also only consider those that are dominant for gene 2.
 $\frac{56}{56+24}$ =0.7
The probability that gene 2 is dominant, given that that gene 1 is dominant, is of 7 in 10 individuals.
