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

Some organisms can create a sodium motive force by pumping sodium ions across a membrane using the energy of an electron transpo
juin [17]

Answer:

In order for the sodium motive force to provide useful energy for the cell the organism must contain sodium ion gradient or potential across the membrane.

Explanation:

If the concentration of sodium is high in the inter membrane space than that of matrix then a sodium gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

    The transport of sodium ions from inter membrane space to matrix through the sodium ion channel result in the generation of sodium motive force,that is used to provide energy to the cell.

Free nucleotides must be available in a cells nucleus to produce mrna strands. where do these free nucleotides come from
iren [92.7K]
<span>All four nucleotides (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine) are synthesized in the liver. The nucleotides can be synthesized de novo or recycled through salvage pathways. The synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, not within a specific organelle. The components which are used for the nucleotide synthesis are derived from biosynthetic precursors of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, and from ammonia and CO2.</span>

In your own words, describe what information the visible DNA fingerprint provides for each DNA sample
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The visible DNA fingerprint can help extract DNA which, after analysis, can accurately identify the suspect or perpetrator of the crime.

Explanation:

DNA Fingerprinting:

  • DNA fingerprinting is a molecular analysis tool that can help identify a suspect in a crime through DNA extracted from fingerprints.
  • Specific patterns in the DNA, known as polymorphisms, can be identified through DNA fingerprinting.
  • The DNA fingerprinting process involves:
  1. Extraction and purification of the DNA from the fingerprint.
  2. PCR amplification to obtain high yield.
  3. Fragmentation of the DNA by use of restriction enzymes.
  4. Gel electrophoresis analysis of the fragmented DNA.
  5. Analysis of gel to compare the size of the bands.
