Dengue fever is an infectious disease of humans that is caused by a virus. There are four main viral strains, and an individual

can never be infected by the same strain twice. However, a second infection can occur by any of the other strains. The severity of the second infection depends on the identity of both the strain that caused the first infection and the strain causing the second infection, as well as the order in which these were acquired.
Required:
How many different levels of severity are possible for an individual acquiring a second infection

Yuri [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Suppose the four different strains are P, Q, R, S. Thus, the first infection can be from any of the four strains and it occurs in 4 ways.

Since an individual cannot be infected again with the strain from which he/she is been previously infected;

Then, at the second time;

The possible number of strain to be infected with = 4-1 = 3 ways

Thus; the number of possible different levels of severity can be viewed by forming two lettered word  P, Q, R, and S without repetition which is:

= 4 × 3

 = 12

In an experiment, Marlene removes the six anthers from the flower. What best describes the ability of the altered flower to form
Alik [6]

Ans.

In flowering plants, the male reproductive part or stamen is made up of a stack-like structure, known as filament and an ovule-like structure, known as anther. In anthers, microsporangia are present that produce pollen through mitosis.

Thus, 'if anthers are removed from a flower, it will not be able to form seeds as seeds are developed from zygote, that forms by the fusion of male gamete (pollen) and female gamete (ovum).'
