IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(1) True

The most prevalent alleles in a population are called wild type alleles

(4) True

A single copy of an allele showing a complete dominance typically masks the effects of a recessive allele

(5) False

Dominant alleles are always the result of gain of function mutations

Explanation:

An allele is one of a pair of genes that occur on a particular chromosome at a specific location and regulate the same characteristics, such as blood type or blindness in colour. They are pairs or series of genes on a chromosome that determine the hereditary characteristics. The type of blood you have inherited from your parents is determined by the alleles.

Which period is the stage of disease during which the patient begins to present general signs and symptoms?
ELEN [110]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Once the pathogen enters the body, it starts dividing and after a certain period of time the patients experience some sign and symptoms of illness.

The prodromal period occurs just after the incubation period. In this phase the pathogen keeps on dividing and the host begins to experience general symptoms and signs of illness.

This is a result of the activation of immune system of the body which results in the swelling, pain, soreness.
