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

on October 22nd. The average incubation period for the disease is 7 days with a range from 1-15 days. What is the probable period of exposure?

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.

Isolating all of the RNA out of an organism, subjecting it to reverse transcriptase, and then cloning all of the resulting DNA i
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The example process given in the question is describing the creating of a cDNA Library. cDNA or Complimentary DNA is copy of the DNA that is taken from a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is what is done with the reverse transcriptase. And the process described as cloning the resulting DNA into plasmids is the part where the library is created. The resulting DNA is put into host organisms and stored there for further investigation or use.

I hope this answer helps.
