Answer:
Hemoccult test sensitivity is 89.3% and specificity is 92.7%
Explanation:
Hemoccult test is a test that is carried out in order to find out the presence of occult blood in your stool. This method is used to detect colorectal cancer in your body. Blue color of the blood indicate that the test is positive while the green color represents that the test is negative. Test sensitivity is the ability of a test which identify the person who is affected with the disease i. e. true positive, whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify the patient without the disease. The value of sensitivity of the Hemoccult test is 89.3% the specificity is 92.7%, and the positive predictive value is 2.5%.
A single point mutation in a gene results in a nonfunctional protein. Individuals heterozygous for this mutation were identified using a Southern blot. Which pair of wild-type (WT) and mutant alleles most likely contains the mutation?

D. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mutant 5-TAGTCCAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Answer:
C. WT 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mutant 5-TAGTTGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Explanation:
In the wild type, the DNA sequence encodes the following aminoacidic segment: SRSLGI; while the mutant form has a stop codon in the second codon (TGA). A stop codon is a trinucleotide sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) that indicates a stop signal in protein synthesis. There are three types of stop codons: UGA, UAG and UAA, where U represents Uracile in the mRNA instead of Thymine in the DNA sequence.
Representation:
C. WT 5-T AGT CGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = SRSLGI
Mutant 5-T AGT TGA AGC TTA GGC ATC T-3 >> 5'3' Frame 1 = S-, where - represents a stop codon (TGA) and therefore it is the end of the protein.

The CNS communicates with the body proper through ________. some cranial nerves, some spinal nerves, and some additional nerves that were mentioned but not discussed in the tutorial the spinal nerves but not specifically through the cranial nerves the cranial nerves but not specifically through the spinal nerves some (but not all) of the cranial nerves and some (but not all) of the spinal nerves the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves
Answer:
The correct answer is - The cranial nerves and the spinal nerves.
Explanation:
The central nervous system or CNS includes the brain and the spinal cord of the nervous system where it takes sensory information, integrates, and responds accordingly. The spinal cord acts as a conduit for signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Spinal nerves and crania; both play an essential role in taking sensory information and respond accordingly. Spinal nerves are nerves that help in sending motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the CNS and the body. The cranial nerves supply information to the CNS and then from the CNS to the body.
Thus, the correct answer is - The cranial nerves and the spinal nerves.

What brings greater concentrations of dissolved nutrients to the ocean surface?
Answer: Upwelling
Explanation:
Upwelling is a process of movement of dense, cold and nutrient rich water from the bottom of the ocean to the surface layers due to wind currents. This process replaces the warm and nutrient deficient water from the surface.
This process is useful for the growth of phytoplanktons and other sea plants growing in the surface layer of oceanic water.
Given the behavior and ecology of this insect, what are some factors that could cause the incidence of Chagas disease to increase in Central and South America in areas like the banana plantation, and why
Answer and Explanation:
There are many physical elements such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, altitude, vegetation, among others, that influence the presence of the insects that transmit the Chagas diseases. Its transmission seems to be enhanced by other social elements, such as the deficiency in basic services, lack of planning, the socio-economical conditions, cultural conditions. Altogether, these factors intervene in the presence of the Chagas disease, a systemic infection caused by the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi. This protozoan is hosted by different wild and domestic mammals, transmitted to the human by hematophagous insects. The transmission occurs through dejections deposited on skin or mucose during or after the feeding process.
Different rural areas in Central and South America are characterized by a mountain relief (temperatures between 15 and 30ºC - relative humidity between 50 and 90%), as well as by a plane relief associated with alluvial plain (temperature between 20 and 35ºC - media relative humidity of 75%). Vegetation in the mountain area provides a natural habitat to the triatomines, the insects that transmit the Chagas disease.
Constant deforestation in mountains, soil move, the cutting down, firing, have destroyed the natural habitat of the insects, becomming the cause of their arrival to populated centers. As their environment is destroyed, insects migrate to new areas and find refuge in precarious houses that surround the affected areas. Most of these houses have clay walls, a roof made of branches, and no floor. People that live in these conditions do not have economic resources. Indexes of infestation in these houses are high due to the material used for their construction. Insects tend to establish near a source of food, such as domestic animals or even humans. It is also common that these houses have chicken coops and farmyards that also offer good conditions for the insects to live in.
Economic activities are important variables to consider, as these define the way of living in a population.
Agriculture activities are performed with no control or planning. People deforest to plant, getting in contact with the insects' natural habitat, producing environmental changes, and getting in touch with them, enhancing the risks of being infected and of transportin the insects.

Why do processes and activities suddenly change the global temperature?
Answer:
hey mate here is your answer
Answer:
Earth's temperature depends on the balance between energy entering and leaving the planet’s system. When incoming energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth system, Earth warms. When the sun’s energy is reflected back into space, Earth avoids warming. When absorbed energy is released back into space, Earth cools. Many factors, both natural and human, can cause changes in Earth’s energy balance, including:
Explanation:
Variations in the sun's energy reaching Earth
Changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface
Changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere
In 1668 Francesco Redi did a series of experiments on spontaneous generation. He began by putting similar pieces of meat into eight identical jars. Four jars were left open to the air, and four were sealed. He then did the same experiment with one variation: instead of sealing four of the jars completely, he covered them with gauze (the gauze will exclude the flies while allowing the meat to be exposed to air). In both experiments, he monitored the jars and recorded whether or not maggots (young flies) appeared in the meat.
Refer to the paragraph on Redi's experiments. In both experiments, fies appeared in all of the open jars and only in the open jars. Which one of the following statements is correct?
A. The experiment was inconclusive because it did not nun long enough
B. The experiment supports the hypothesis that spontaneous generation occurs in rotting meat.
C. The expertment supports the hwpothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flhes
D. The experiment was inconclusive because Redi used only one kind of meat
Answer:
The experiment supports the hypothesis that maggots arise only from eggs laid by adult flies; that is only from reproduction and development.
Explanation:
The objective of this experimental set up by Francesco Radi was to demonstrate the concept of spontaneous generation. He concluded that, Maggots are not spontaneous generated from rotten meats, rather they are products of eggs laid by houseflies who visited the rotten meat to lay eggs. The maggots (larva) are products of complete metamorphosis, from egg to larva to pupa and adult. This is an indication that, new organisms are not formed form spontaneously, but are products of well-defined process of reproduction and development which in this case is a complete metamorphosis.
Based on this premise he concluded that, if maggots were products of laid eggs, then they should appear only when rotten meat is exposed to open air.However,if they are f products of spontaneous generation they should appear irrespective of the meat exposure to air or not.

_____________8. area where weblike pre-keratin filaments first appear.
_____________9. deep layer of the dermis
_____________10. layer that secretes a glycolipid that prevents water loss from the skin
Answer and Explanation:
b. stratum corneum: 5. layer including scalelike dead cells, full of keratin, that constantly slough off.
The most superficial epidermal layer conformed of squamous, plane, thin cells with keratin in their cytoplasm, that are continuously released. These cells are replaced by new cells that have the same destiny.
d. stratum lucidum
: 1. layer of translucent cells in thick skin containing dead keratinocytes
Also known as the transparent layer, is only located in the thicker parts of the skin, such as the hands´ palms and the feets´ soles. This layer is so thin that the cells´ edges and some ties their nucleus can not be identified. Keratinocytes are diaphanous and are grouped together. They lack a nucleus and the cytoplasm is filled with a gelatinous substance, eleidin, which will transform into keratin.
b. stratum corneum and d. stratum lucidum 2. two layers containing dead cells.
c. stratum granulosum: 6. layer named for the numerous granules present.
These layer cells contain granules filled with keratohyalin that is needed for keratin production. These cells are arranged in two to four layers, and they begin to degenerate. This is why they show high lysosomes enzymes concentration. This is also the layer where it begins keratinization.
e. stratum spinosum: 10. layer that secretes a glycolipid that prevents water loss from the skin.
8 to 10 irregular cell layers. These cells are rich in DNA necessary for proteinic synthesis that ends in keratin production, and Langerhans cells that belong to the immunity system. This stratus is also known as "Malpigio stratum". It also produces a glycoprotein that helps to prevent water loss.
a. stratum basale 4. epidermal layer exhibiting the most rapid cell division.
7. location of melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells.
Stratum basale is the innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the precursor of keratinocytes, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also Merkel cells as well as melanocytes. The former associated with nerve fibers, transmit part of the touch, and the latter, form the pigment responsible for skin coloring and tanning, melanin.
f. papillary layer: 3. dermal layer responsible for fingerprints.
This stratum is a thin superior layer in the dermis. It has conjunctive tissues and blood vessels that nourish the skin and helps to control the temperature. It´s surface forms papilla that increases the mechanical union between dermis and epidermis.
g. reticular layer: 9. deep layer of the dermis
The inner and thicker layer of the dermis. It is characterized by it´s thick, irregular bundles of collagen fibers and elastic fibers. These are not randomly oriented but forming the regular skin tightening lines known as Langer lines.
h. epidermis as a whole: 7. location of melanocytes and tactile epithelial cells.
Composed of a plane stratified keratinized epithelium that constantly grows and maintains a normal thickness by the process of peeling. The Epidermis is made up of five cell layers, which have different functions: Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
i. dermis as a whole: composed of conjunctive dense tissue that provides support, resistance, and thickness to the skin.
After getting their results in, a group of scientists went back and looked at their study. As planned, their experiment consisted of three groups. The first group received a new medicine at a normal dose, the second group received the medicine at half the dose, and the third group received the medicine at twice the dose. Which of the following best describes what went wrong with the scientists’ study?
Answer:
Their experimental design lacks control group
Explanation:
Based on what I read, the scientists don't have a control group as one of the main groups thus they cannot, in scientific sense, say that the medicine is better or worse. You always need a control group receiving no intervention because then we can compare groups and assess the effectiveness of that intervention (in our case if we had control group vs people who received the medicine, we could see if the people who received the medicine had improved condition etc when compared to participants who did not receive anything)
There is no control group in their experimental design. According to what I've read, the scientists don't have a control group as one of the primary groups. Thus, option C is correct.
What is control group?To determine if the treatment is better or worse in a formal scientific sense. You should always have a control group that does not receive any treatment because this allows us.
To compare the groups and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. In our case, if we had a control group and participants who did not receive any treatment, we could see if those participants had better health overall.
By focusing on the impact of a single independent variable, a cause-and-effect link can be established.
The independent variable is altered in the treatment group while being held constant in the control group by researchers. The findings of these groups are then compared.
Therefore, no control group in their experimental design.

What would be an appropriate evolutionary explanation of the fact that the ordering of some homeotic genes (e.g., Hox genes) on vertebrate chromosomes parallels the ordering of homeotic genes on fruit fly chromosomes? Group of answer choices
Answer:
The correct answer is "The similar ordering of homeotic genes in animals, both vertebrate and insect, is due to ancient homology".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are
a. Homeotic genes show that insects and vertebrates are closer relatives than the traditional classification system indicates.
b. The similar ordering of homeotic genes in animals, both vertebrate and insect, is due to ancient homology.
c. The similarity is a coincidence, not documented in other invertebrates and largely a result of random mutations.
d. Homeotic genes of different animal lineages might be ordered in a similar fashion, yet their sequences are completely different.
The correct answer is option b. "The similar ordering of homeotic genes in animals, both vertebrate and insect, is due to ancient homology".
Ancient homology, is a concept proposed by Charles Darwin that explains that species have homologous structures because they share a common ancestor. This explains as well why the ordering of some homeotic genes on vertebrate chromosomes parallels the ordering of homeotic genes on fruit fly chromosomes. Even though vertebrates are not as evolutionary close to fruit fly as other species, they share an ancient common ancestor as well. This same phenomena explains other homologies seeing in species, such as the adaptive mimetic diversity across butterflies.

Please describe the regulation of the blood glucose 6 hours after a meal?
Please include all relevant organs, hormones, and actions.
Answer:
Find the description below in the explanation section
Explanation:
The body system regulates the blood sugar level via the hand-in-hand working of insulin and glucagon hormones, both produced by the Pancreas. After a meal, the food undergoes digestion and is broken down into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. Insulin hormone is released by the pancreas (stimulated by a negative feedback) when the sugar level of the blood increases. This secretion of insulin causes cells to absorb glucose as source of energy, while liver and muscle cells store some of the excess blood glucose as GLYCOGEN.
However, after about 6 hours of taking the meal, the blood sugar (glucose) level must have decreased. This triggers the secretion of Glucagon hormone by the Pancreas. Glucagon hormone, acts in an opposite manner as Insulin hormone, by causing the stored GLYCOGEN in the liver and muscle cells to be converted back to Glucose in order for cells to make use of it.
This continuous process occurs and it is how the body regulates the blood glucose levels.

when the community climax in an ecosystem has only a single type of climax, the development of the climax community is controlled by ___ of that region.
a) the climate
b) the life forms
c) the soil texture
d) the pioneer community
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
because the climax community is composed of species beat adopted to average conditions in that area
When the community climax in an ecosystem has only a single type of climax, the development of the climax community is controlled by the climate of that region. Option A is correct.
The climate of a region is the most important factor that controls the development of a climax community. The climate determines the temperature, precipitation, and other abiotic factors that influence the growth and survival of plants and animals.
In a region with a single type of climax community, the climate is relatively uniform and there is little variation in the abiotic factors. This means that the same species of plants and animals will be able to survive and thrive in the region, regardless of the specific location. The life forms, soil texture, and pioneer community can all influence the development of a climax community, but they are not as important as the climate. Option A is correct.

Biochemical changes in the body, that affect the rate of metabolism and elimination of a substance from the body and produce increased amounts to achieve the desired effects, may lead to development of
Answer:
Tolerance
Explanation:
Tolerance is the capacity of an organism to survive changes in certain environmental and biochemical conditions. It has to with changes an organism is able to withstand when is subjected to certain factors which can biotic or abiotic.
For example, in the consumption of alcohol, tolerance can occur when there is a fast elimination of alcohol from the body system. This is usually as a result of the activation of a group of enzymes that is responsible for the metabolism of alcohol in excessive alcohol drinkers. The activation of this enzymes increases the catabolism of alcohol and hence reduces the active time within the body, hence reducing the time by which alcohol intoxicates.
Which statement about venation is INCORRECT?
Some flowering plants have leaves that lack venation even though the stems and roots have vascular bundles.
Venation is important for delivering water to leaf cells and taking sugars to the stem.
Venation refers to arrangement of the veins within a leaf.
Venation patterns include pinnate, palmate and dichotomous.
In general, monocots exhibit parallel venation.
Answer:
Some flowering plants have leaves that lack venation even though the stems and roots have vascular bundles.
Explanation:
Venation refers to the arrangement of the veins in the leaf of a plant which are involved in the transport of material in the plants.
The xylem present in leaves transports water to the leaf whereas phloem transports sugar from the leaves to different parts of the plants. In angiosperms, no plants are known whose leaves lack the veins but stem and root possess the vascular bundles.
Monocot is characterised by their parallel veins whereas dicots possess reticulate veins. Also, the compound leaves possess one of the three types of venation that are palmate, pinnate and dichotomous.
Since no angiosperm posses, veinless leaves, therefore, is the correct answer.
