Answer:

The correct answer is case control study.

Explanation:

A study in which a comparison is made between the patients carrying the disease with the patients not carrying the disease is known as the case-control study. In the mentioned study, the one carrying the disease is termed as cases, and the one that does not possess the disease is termed as controls.  

This form of study is generally done to predict the association between the disease and the risk factor. In case-control studies, only observation is done as no attempt is made to change the course of the condition. The prime objective of the study is to predict the exposure of the risk elements for the individuals present in two groups, that is, controls and cases. This form of study is also called case-referent studies or retrospective studies.

What is the difference between a heterozygous and homozygous set of alleles?
podryga [215]

Heterozygous means that an organism has two different alleles of a gene. For example, pea plants can have red flowers and either be homozygous dominant (red-red), or heterozygous (red-white). If they have white flowers, then they are homozygous recessive (white-white). Carriers are always heterozygous.

Homozygous is a word that refers to a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes. It is referred to by two capital letters (XX) for a dominant trait, and two lowercase letters (xx) for a recessive trait.

Which organelle can be compared to a security guard who decides whom may enter a building and whom may not
kotegsom [21]
The correct answer here is "cell membrane". Generally it makes sure that nothing enters or leaves the cell, except by its highly guarded "gates", such as ion channels, that let some particles through - but they're very picky about whom to let in!
