Food-borne infection and food-borne intoxication are two forms of food-borne illness. When pathogens are ingested and then multiply in the body, it is known as food-borne infection.

The symptoms of food-borne infection may appear eight hours after ingestion, but it is more likely that they will appear anywhere between two days and a few weeks afterward. For example, the hepatitis A virus has an incubation period of approximately twenty-eight days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

So the answer is D, food borne infection.

Answer:

The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2

Explanation:

In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele where coats are normally brownish.

A dwarf female from a pure line will have Xd Xd where d represent the recessive trait and the female is also brownish (pp).

A pink male from a pure line will be XPY where P represent the dominant allele but not a dwarf (D).

Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?

nignag [31]

Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.
