Answer:
a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.
b. Ss (male) × ss (female)
c. 50% Ss, 50% ss
d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)
Explanation:
This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).
a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.
b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)
c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.
d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
Answer:
Sí, ya que su función es matarlas o impedir que aumente el número de estas.
Explanation:
Los antibióticos actúan sobre las bacterias ya sea matandolas o evitando que la población de un determinado tipo de bacterias se reproduzca haciendo que los mecanismos de defensas presentes en nuestro cuerpo puedan actuar sobre las bacterias ya existentes.
Los antibióticos pueden ser específicos para cierto tipo de bacterias o actuar de forma general afectando a varios tipos de bacterias presentes en nuestro organismo. Si se atacan bacterias que están normalmente en nuestro cuerpo por acción indiscriminada del antibiótico, nuestro organismo sufre un desequilibrio ya que las bacterias que tendrían que estar presentes para procesar ciertos elementos o realizar otras funciones no están.
The complete question is :
As an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of a drug suspected of causing malformations in newborn infants when the drug in question is taken by pregnant women during the course of their pregnancies. As your sample you will use the next 200 single births occurring in a given hospital. For each birth a medication history will be taken from the new mother and from her doctor; in addition, you will review medical records to verify use of the drug. [N.B.: These mothers are considered to have been followed prospectively during the entire course of their pregnancies, because a complete and accurate record of drug use was maintained during pregnancy.] The resultant data are: Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. Of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. In addition, 10 other infants are born with malfunctions. What is the relative risk between exposure to the drug and malformations?
Answer:
14
Explanation:
- The relative risk is a measure that is used to calculate or compare the likelihood or the chance that an event would occur while comparing the two groups.
- To calculate the relative risk, the probability of an event occurring in one group is compared with the probability of the event occurring in another group and this is done by dividing the probability of one group by another.
- The value of relative risk is always either zero or greater than zero but it cannot be negative.
- The value 1 indicates neutrality.
- The probability of an event = no. of favorable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
- For the given question, 35 mothers out of 40 delivered infants that were malformed, so the probability of delivering malformed infants is 35/40.
- Out of the 200 births, 40 have occurred so total births left is 200 - 40 = 160
- Therefore, the probability of the second event is 10/160.
- Therefore relative risk is = (35/40)/(10/160) = (0.875/0.062) = 14
Answer:
archaea and eukaryotic organisms
Explanation:
In nature, plasmids often carry genes that may benefit the survival of the organism, for example antibiotic resistance.
Answer
#1. A reduction in habitat for arctic seals will reduce the population of arctic seals. This will reduce the capture efficiency for killer whales preying on arctic seals because there will be fewer to capture. A reduction in habitat for arctic seals will lower the carrying capacity for arctic seals because there is less habitat. A reduction in arctic seals, the food for killer whales, will reduce the carrying capacity for killer whales, unless there is a substitute source of food.
#2. If there is another source of food for killer whales, the population of killer whales will probably remain the same, if they were at their carrying capacity and their habitat remains the same. If there is another source of food for killer whales, the population of arctic seals will still decrease, because the habitat for arctic seals has decreased, and habitat is independent of predator population.
#3. There are many limitations on any simulation. The computer only uses the parameters in the program, so changes in ocean temperature, weather patterns, salinity changes, food supply, habitat, interaction with other species and presence of plants and zooplankton are not considered. All of those can change and change the results.
