Different Measures of Disease

Question              Measure of Disease

a.                           I = incidence rate

b.                           P = prevalence

c.                           L = lifetime prevalence

d.                           L = lifetime prevalence

e.                           M = crude mortality rate

Explanation:

a) Measures of disease:

I = incidence rate (p. 126): measures the frequency of disease occurrence in a population over time. It is measured as new episodes of illness in a period divided by the population.

P = prevalence (p. 113): ratio or proportion of persons in a population with a disease at a time or over time.  It is based on a sample.

L = lifetime prevalence (p. 114):  the proportion or ratio of a population who had a disease at some point in their life.

M = crude mortality rate (crude death rate) (p. 112): the ratio of deaths in a period among a geographical population.

R = sex ratio (counts) (p. 109): ratio of male and female population.

At this point, the writer is considering adding the following sentence. Successful nerve impulse transmission depends not only on myelin sheaths, but also on the presence of ion pumps embedded in the cell membrane. Should the writer make this addition here?
A) Yes, because it describes how the presence of ion pumps is related to the functions of cholesterol.
B) Yes, because it supports the passage’s main argument with a second example of cholesterol’s potential adverse health effects.
C) No, because it identifies a relationship between the nervous system and ion pumps that has already been discussed.
D) No, because it interrupts the paragraph’s discussion of cholesterol’s functions with loosely related information.

Answers

Answer:

D) No, because it interrupts the paragraph’s discussion of cholesterol’s functions with loosely related information.

Explanation:

The passage was discussing the importance of cholesterol in nerve impulse transmission. Its presence in the myelin sheaths of nerve cells speeds up nerve impulse transmission. It will not be wise for the author to now bring in the relationship between nerve impulse transmission and ion pumps. This is because the main topic under discussion is cholesterol and its importance. The sentence should be continued with other importance of cholesterol and not ion pumps.

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized. If all of these genes are on the same chromosome, and there is no recombination, how many different genotypes will occur in the F2

Answers

Answer:

2 genotypes: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee

Explanation:

The law of segregation (also called Mendel's First Law) describes how genes on different chromosomes segregate into gametes independently of each other. Moreover, recombination (also known as crossing over) is the interchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. In this case, the five genes are on the same chromosome (i.e., they are linked together and do not segregate) and there is no recombination, thereby they are inherited as a haplotype block to the next generation:

- Genotypes parental (P) lines: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee

- Cross P1: ABCDE X abcde

- Genotype F1: AaBbCcDdEe (100%)

- Gametes F1: ABCDE; abcde

- Genotypes F2: AABBCCDDEE; aabbccddee (ratio 1:1)

As with most fluid samples sent for microbiological analysis, Mandy starts her investigation with a Gram stain.
Gram Stain Analysis Classify the infectious agent based on the Gram staining.

Answers

Hi. Unfortunately your question is incomplete and you have not shown any photos of the sample that Mandy must identify by Gram stain. However, after researching her question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like this one, which showed the microorganism that should be analyzed. This image is attached below. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

Gram-positive cocci

Explanation:

It is possible to identify that the microorganism presented is a bacteria due to the application of the test known as Gram stain, which allows the identification of gram positive and gram negative bacteria. This test allows the bacteria to be subjected to a specific dye that reacts with the chemical composition of the bacteria, modifying its color. Gram positive bacteria show a blue color after the test, while gram negative bacteria show a red color after the test.

As we can see in the attached image, the bacteria that Mandy is analyzing shows a blue color, after being submitted to Gram stain, being then a gram positive bacteria.

We can also see that the colonies of this bacterium have formed round, similar to a coconut and for this reason, we can conclude that the bacterium has the shape known as cocci.

Therefore, we can classify the microorganism as a Gram-positive cocci.

A) 1 black-eyed:1 orange-eyed
B) 3 black-eyed:1 orange-eyed
C) 1 black-eyed:3 orange-eyed
D) 1 black-eyed:0 orange-eyed

Answers

The phenotypic ratio of the cross is as follows: 3 red antennas: 1 white antenna

For question 2, the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation is: 3 black-eyed: 1 orange-eyed

QUESTION 1

According to the first question, a gene coding for antenna color in butterflies is involved. Red antennas (“R”) is dominant to white antennas (“r”). Hence, a butterfly with genotype "Rr" will be phenotypically red.

According to this question, If both parents are heterozygous for red antennas i.e. Rr (red antenna) × Rr (red antenna), the following gametes will be produced: R and r. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following phenotypic ratio of offspring is produced:

3 RED ANTENNAS (RR, Rr, Rr) : 1 WHITE ANTENNA (rr)

2. In the second question, all the offspring of a cross between a black-eyed mendelien (BB) and an orange-eyed mendelien (bb) have black eyes (Bb). In a cross between two F1 black-eyed mendeliens i.e. Bb × Bb, the following proportion of offspring is produced:

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

Hence, a phenotypic ratio of 3 black-eyed: 1 orange-eyed

Answer:

Explanation:

Presence of capsule. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

What was Griffith's experiment?

Griffith's experiment of transformation is a landmark experiment in microbiology conducted in 1928 by British bacteriologist Frederick Griffith. The experiment aimed to determine the nature of the "transforming principle" responsible for transferring genetic material between bacteria.

Griffith used two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, one that was virulent and had a polysaccharide capsule (S strain) and another that was non-virulent and lacked the capsule (R strain). He found that when he injected mice with the heat-killed S strain and live R strain, the mice died, and live S strain was found in their blood. This suggested that the R strain had been transformed into the S strain, and the genetic material was responsible for the transformation.

Griffith's experiment provided the first evidence of bacterial transformation and paved the way for future research on the molecular basis of genetics.

Erythrocytes have no nuclei. Without nuclei, erythrocytes can carry a higher amount of haemoglobin explain how this is an advantage in exchanging and carrying oxygen

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - hemoglobin binds with respiratory gases such as oxygen so more hemoglobin will carry more oxygen .

Explanation:

Red blood cells have adapted the trait of having no nucleus for several reasons but the major reason is to increase the amount of hemoglobin so this can carry more oxygen to various parts of the body from lungs. If there will be more hemoglobin then it will allows RBC to transfer more oxygen.

Hemoglobin is the respiratory pigment that has four heme group, containing iron ion, arround globin group, each iron ion in the heme can bind to one oxygen molecule; So one molecule of hemoglobin can transport four oxygen molecules as it binds with oxygen.

Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is phenol red a better pH indicator than alizarin yellow for detecting a change in pH of broth containing pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.
