During an experiment to determine if people with more symmetrical body features have a lower incidence of disease, a researcher

first measures the length of several bones in the subject's hands and arms. The device used to measure length does not display a readout of the measurement taken. Instead, a wire connects the measuring device to a computer that records the data. The computer monitor is kept out of sight of the subject and the researcher. Why is such an elaborate device used?a. So that the subject will not know if he or she is part of the control group.b. So that the experiment will be repeatable.c. So that the subject will not be injured by the experiment.d. So that the identity of the subject will remain anonymous.e. So that the measurements are not biased by the researcher.

Answer:

e

Explanation:

<em>The main reason such an elaborate device was used would be to eliminate any element of bias by the researcher.</em>

It is important to eliminate biases when taking measurements so as to ensure the accuracy of the data and the overall outcome of the experiment. <u>If a simpler device had been used in which the researcher manually records the length of the bones, it is possible to knowingly or unknowingly introduce biases or random error into the experiment which will impact the integrity of the data and the outcome of the experiment.</u>

The correct option is e.

What kind of viral replication cycle will most likely damaged host cells immediately
Verizon [17]

Viral replication involves six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, and release. During attachment and penetration, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into it.


toxic enzymes that damage the host cell that are coded for in the viral genome

secretion of chemicals from the virus to the membrane of the host cell

replication of the viral genetic material within the host

lysis of the host to release new viruses

integrating into the host cell chromosomes

The sickle-cell allele produces a serious blood disease in homozygous recessive individuals. why doesn't natural selection elimi
icang [17]

No, the sickle-cell anemia allele won't be eliminated by natural selection.

Sickle-cell anemia trait is controlled by a single gene and the allele (S) for sickle-cell anemia is a harmful autosomal recessive.

It is caused by a mutation in the normal allele (A) for hemoglobin (a protein on red blood cells).

Heterozygotes (AS) with the sickle-cell allele are resistant to malaria, a deadly tropical disease. It is common in many African populations.

In these areas, (S) carriers have been naturally selected, because their red blood cells, containing some abnormal hemoglobin, tend to be in sickle shape when they are infected by the malarial parasite.

Therefore, they are more likely to survive and reproduce. This keeps the S allele in the gene pool.

What is the effect of defective or missing N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase on lysosomal protein sorting?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The deficiency in this enzyme causes that it begins erroneously label other enzymes. Because the activating proteins are not properly labeled, they escape into spaces outside the cell and do not disintegrate substances inside the cells, that is, lysosomes cannot perform their function correctly. This causes waste products, which must include carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, accumulate in specific masses as inclusion bodies.

larisa86 [58]

Yes she will fall under her doctor's recommendation because she is taking prescribed amount of carbohydrate in one serving which can affect her blood sugar level and dietry fibre will have no effect on sugar level so separate portion can be taken.

Explanation:

Dietary fibres are also carbohydrates called cellulose which is not digested in our bodies. The addition of cellulose is just for adding roughage to the diet as it provides bulk to the diet.

The carbohydrate intake is very important in the meal plan as it readily provides energy. The glucose is the most easily used form of energy from the body in comparision to fat and proteins. The energy yield is 4 calories per 1 gram of carbohydrates.

The recommendations by doctor to Brianna is to have 30 grams of carbohydrate and can have dietry fibre in different portion. Thus, if she eats two servings for the diet she is following the instructions.

The dietry fibre has no effect on her sugar level but carbohydrate increment will cause raise in sugar level as insulin production gets down in diabetics and not using the carbohydrate as fuel.
