An outbreak occurs where the first case is detected on October 15th, the last case is detected on October 27th, and the peak is

Answer:

12-14 october

Explanation:

The probable period of exposure is calculated as follows:

  1. Know  the range of the incubation period
  2. Start counting back from the days of the first case by subtracting the first number of incubation period range
  3. Count back the days from the last case by subtracting the last number of incubation period range.
  4. This will give a range which will be the period of exposure.

From the question,

  • Incubation period range 1-15
  • Date of first case = october 15
  • Therefore, first date of exposure = 15 -1 = 14
  • Date of last case = 22
  • Therefore, last date of exposure = 27 - 15 = 12
  • Thus, the range is 12-14 october which is the probable period of exposure.

Upon genetic analysis of the cancerous tissue, a mutated form of a gene, named the kid gene, was discovered in all affected indi
hammer [34]

Answer: option A - tumor-suppressor gene

Explanation:

A cancerous tissue is growing or spreading rapidly at a harmful rate. However, for a tissue to become cancerous, its "internal guard" usually known as a TUMOUR SUPPRESSOR GENE must have lost or reduced its function.

This loss of function occurs after mutation.

So, definitely, all affected individuals with cancerous tissues have mutated tumour suppressor genes unlike unaffected individuals.

Note that other options are WRONG, because none of them accurately distinguishes affected from unaffected individuals

Which conclusion about the meaning of Y is correct if the allele combination Yy is for yellow seeds?
VARVARA [1.3K]
The answer is <span>yellow and dominant.

We have two alleles, one dominant and one recessive: Y and y. Usually, a capital letter is used for dominant alleles, so Y is a dominant allele and y is a recessive allele. There are three combinations of those alleles, and thus, three genotypes: YY, Yy, yy.
We know that </span><span>Yy is for yellow seeds. An individual with Yy is heterozygote. Heterozygotes have one dominant and one recessive allele, but the dominant masks the recessive allele, so expressed trait is dominant. Since yellow seed is the result of heterozygous Yy, yellow seed is the dominant trait.
Therefore, Y means yellow and dominant.</span>

Describe a situation in which being able to drink milk would give an individual an advantage with respect to survival and reprod
NISA [10]

Answer/Explanation:

A family has a farm in which they grow crops and keep cows. During a particularly harsh winter, the crops failed to grow as well as they normally do. This means that their food supply was limited.

However, they also have cows, and cows produce milk. If this family were able to drink milk, they could get some nutrition from the milk. This means they are less likely to succumb to malnutrition and disease, and are more likely to survive and reproduce.
