A scientist claims that he has protected animal test subjects from a newly mutated virus using an experimental vaccine. The expe

rimental vaccine was injected into five animal test subjects. The scientist also injected a placebo vaccine into five other animal test subjects. One month later, all of the test subjects were exposed to the mutated virus. The subjects that received the vaccination showed no sign of the disease and blood tests confirmed the presence of antibodies against the disease, but the subjects given the placebo developed symptoms of this condition. Why did one group have a placebo injected before being exposed to the virus? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A They were part of the control group (Choice B) B They would be exposed to a weakened form of the virus (Choice C) C They would be protected from the disease (Choice D) D They were part of the experimental group

Answer:

A. They were part of the control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, the CONTROL GROUP as opposed to the experimental group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. This acts as a standard for comparison.

In this question, the EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE is the experimental treatment or independent variable that was added. The five animal test subjects that was injected with this vaccine are called the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP while the other five test subjects that were rather injected with a PLACEBO are called CONTROL GROUPS.

State one factor, other than the tilt of the Earth’s axis, that causes seasons to change on earth.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:But Earth's distance from the sun doesn't change enough to cause seasonal differences. Instead, our seasons change because Earth tilts on its axis, and the angle of tilt causes the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to trade places throughout the year in receiving the sun's light and warmth most directly.Sep 23, 2019

Bone formation begins when ____________ secrete the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called ____________ .
butalik [34]

Answer:

a. osteoblasts

b. osteoid

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are the fundamental cell of bone tissue. They are the cells that synthesize the bone matrix called osteoid from which it is made from the skeleton of bone fish, to the skeleton of humans. Since the bone skeleton is an evolutionary paraphiletic characteristic (it is present in several taxonomic groups that have evolved from the same ancestor).

Osteoblasts are responsible for the development and growth of bones during the juvenile stage of individuals and are also responsible for maintaining adult bone and regenerating bone when it breaks.

Osteogenesis is the process of differentiation of osteoblasts. The cells from which osteoblasts differ are called osteoprogenitors. The differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, which come from the mesoderm, periosteum or bone marrow, is induced by growth factors called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), capable of inducing the growth of bone, cartilage or connective tissue. When an osteoprogenitor cell receives a BMP signal, it quickly begins to express the genes to generate collagen, osteonectin and alkaline phosphatase, among other compounds necessary for bone growth. When the bone grows, it ends up wrapping some of the osteoblasts and they lose their ability to replicate, at that time they are dedicated to bone maintenance and not to their synthesis and are called osteocytes.
