A genetic test is used to determine if people have a predisposition for thrombosis, which is the formation of a blood clot insid

e a blood vessel that obstructs the flow of blood through the circulatory system. it is believed that 3% of people actually have this predisposition. the genetic test is 99% accurate if a person actually has the predisposition, meaning that the probability of a positive test result when a person actually has the predisposition is 0.99. the test is 98% accurate if a person does not have the predisposition. what is the probability that a randomly selected person who tests positive for the predisposition by the test actually has the predisposition?

The probability that a randomly selected person who tests positive for the predisposition by the test actually has the predisposition is 
 P( A | B ) = P( B | A ) P ( A ) / P( B ) so P ( Disease | positive ) = P ( positive |
disease ) P ( disease ) / P ( positive ) = (0.99)(0.03) / P ( positive ) 
 P ( Positive ) = P( Positive | disease ) P ( disease )+ P( Positive | no disease
) P( no disease ) 
 = (0.99)(0.03) + (0.02)(0.97) = 0.0491
 so P( Disease | positive ) = (0.99)(0.03) / (0.0491) = .6

3. Briefly summarize in your own words what alternative explanations have been proposed for melanism that do not have to do with
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer & explanation:

Melanism occurs due to a genetic mutation that causes the excessive and concentrated production of the black pigment, called <u>melanin</u>. The consequence is living beings with darkened skin or fur. There are three types of melanism.

Adaptive melanism occurs by the need to adapt to the environment, a condition that will be passed through the generations. This melanism allows animals to camouflage themselves during hunting or to hide from predators.

Industrial melanism is related to human interference, especially industrial activities, in the lives of animals (dark-colored moths are the best-known cases). Air contamination is one of the main factors for this condition.

There is also pseudo-melanism, which partially affects animals and is generally motivated by genetic mutations. In certain species, the characteristic spots and stripes appear larger and darker than usual. This type of melanism is very present in cats such as tigers, cheetahs, leopards. However, other animals can still be affected.

Answer:

The structure and function of the chromosome are different in both the prokaryotic chromosome and eukaryotic chromosome. They differ in their size as the genetic information they carry is different from one another.

Eukaryotic chromosome have a different shape from the prokaryotic chromosome as the bacterial chromosome is circular and less complex due to no histone found in prokaryotes as we see in the eukaryotic chromosome. SIze of the bacterial or prokaryotic chromosome is also small and not found in condensed form as these cells carry less genetic information than eukaryotic cells.

Analyze why it would be an advantage to a protein-secreting cell to have ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum.
RideAnS [48]
Since ribosomes produce proteins, and the endoplasmic reticulum transports the proteins that the ribosome makes it is advantageous for a protein secreting sell to have ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum so that the proteins can be transported more quickly and efficiently
