It is estimated that 5.9% of Americans have diabetes. Suppose a medical lab uses a test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for pe

ople who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it. Find the conditional probability that a randomly selected person actually has diabetes given that the lab test says they have it.

Answer:

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725

Explanation:

A probability is a number, between 0 and 1, expressing the precise likelihood of an event happening.

Probability (person actually has diabetes) = 5.9%

P(lab test says that they have diabetes) = 0.0764

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725

What is the new peptide chain when the new dna segment is translated for 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5'
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

Explanation:

Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes, is the second stage of protein synthesis where mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a peptide chain that eventually forms a protein. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid, which is read and added to the growing peptide chain.

In this question, a DNA sequence reds 3'- TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5, the

mRNA sequence from this DNA during transcription will be:

AUG UCC CAC GAU GGG UGA

From this mRNA sequence, the peptide chain that will result following translation is:

Methionine- Serine- Histidine- Aspartate- Glycine- stop

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

A special characteristic of one living creature is to grow, to do metabolic processes to react to adapt and to reproduce.

Explanation:

The purpose of human life is to be aware of the existence, to understand existence,  to be responsible and to enjoy.

Why are we chosen to live in this world it is not known. There are theories that RNA plays an important part in this. The process that many forms of life developed through history by mutation and natural selection. And the most common answer to a question why are we here is the simple process of evolution.
