What is the biggest error, methodologically, in the following scientific study? "The goal of the study was to determine whether the ebola virus is as deadly in rhesus monkeys as it is in gorillas. I took a sample of four healthy rhesus monkeys and four healthy gorillas. The animals were a random mixture of sexes and ages. I arranged eight cages so that each animal would be in a separate cage, and I made sure there would be no contact among the cages that would allow transmission of the virus. Then I obtained a sample of the ebola virus from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and injected all the monkeys and gorillas with the same size dose. At the end of four days, I noticed that all the gorillas were dead but only one of the monkeys was dead. An autopsy revealed that three of the four gorillas had died of ebola fever but that the fourth, nicknamed Curious George, had died of internal bleeding after swallowing the small pair of scissors that were left within reach of its cage. The dead monkey had died of ebola fever. At the end of two months there were no more deaths. I concluded that my dosage of the ebola virus is three times as likely to be deadly to gorillas as it is to rhesus monkeys, but I recommended repeating the study to see if the percentages of deaths due to ebola fever remained steady over a wide range of dosages of the virus."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample obtained for the study is not enough. Also, a control group is not established thus making the study erroneous.

Explanation:

The total sample size of 4 specimens from each of the two groups does not qualify as an appropriate sample size for the generalization of the results. Furthermore, the mixing of different ages and genders is not suitable for this kind of sample.

Also, the control group is not established where healthy specimens are kept in a similar environment to factor out the effects of the environment and other components on the health/death of the animals.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true of depurination (DP), deamination (DA), or pyrimidine dimer formation (DF). A given statement may be true of any, all, or none of these processes. This process is caused by spontaneous hydrolysis of a glycosidic bond. This process is induced by ultraviolet light. This can happen to guanine but not to cytosine. This can happen to thymine but not to adenine. This can happen to thymine but not to cytosine. Repair involves a DNA glycosylase. Repair involves an endonuclease. Repair involves DNA ligase. Repair depends on the existence of separate copies of the genetic information in the two strands of the double helix. Repair depends on cleavage of both strands of the double helix.

Answers

Answer:

- This process is caused by spontaneous hydrolysis of a glycosidic bond: depurination and deamination

- This process is induced by ultraviolet light:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to guanine but not to cytosine: depurination

- This can happen to thymine but not to adenine:  pyrimidine dimer formation

- This can happen to thymine but not to cytosine: none

- Repair involves a DNA glycosylase: deamination

- Repair involves an endonuclease: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair involves DNA ligase: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

-  Repair depends on the existence of separate copies of the genetic information in the two strands of the double helix: depurination, deamination and  pyrimidine dimer formation

- Repair depends on cleavage of both strands of the double helix: none

Explanation:

Depurination is the loss of purine bases (either adenine or guanine), while deamination refers to the removal of an amino group. During depurination, a β-N-glycosidic bond is cleaved by hydrolysis and a nucleic base is released (either adenine or guanine). All DNA bases may undergo deamination, except thymine (since thymine does not have an amino group). The ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause thymine or cytosine to form dimers (e.g., pyrimidine dimers), being thymine dimers the most common lesion when DNA is exposed to UV light. Pyrimidine dimers may be repaired by different excision mechanisms, e.g., nucleotide excision repair, where the recognition of the DNA damage leads to the removal of the DNA fragment containing the lesion. DNA glycosylases are enzymes involved in the mechanism of base excision, these enzymes recognize and remove damaged bases by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond, producing an abasic (apurinic and apyrimidinic) site. A DNA ligase enzyme covalently joins two DNA molecules by forming a phosphodiester bond, which is required during these processes.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - chromosomes align at the spindle equator.

Explanation:

Chromosomes move and align at the spindle equator during the metaphase stage of mitosis and other given events take place during the anaphase stage of the mitosis cell division. Metaphase is the second phase of the M-phase of mitosis division whereas anaphase is the third phase.

The metaphase is characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes at the equator whereas the anaphase is separating the chromosomes pulled towards the poles and division of centromeres.

What do you mean by metabolism?

Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are: the conversion of the energy in food to energy available to run cellular processes.

Moreover, it is the process by which the body changes food and drink into energy. During this process, calories in food and drinks mix with oxygen to make the energy the body needs. Even at rest, a body needs energy for all it does.

Hence, if your metabolism is "high" (or fast), you will burn more calories at rest and during activity. A high metabolism means you'll need to take in more calories to maintain your weight. That's one reason why some people can eat more than others without gaining weight.

4. A woman with defective tooth enamel (autosomal recessive) and normal color vision, (X-linked) who had a color blind father with normal tooth enamel and a mother with normal vision and defective tooth enamel, marries a color blind first cousin with normal tooth enamel who had a father with defective tooth enamel. What is the probability of their having a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness

Answers

Answer:

The probability of their having a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness is 3/8 or 0.375

Explanation:

Let the alleles for normal and defective tooth enamel be T and t respectively.

Color blindness is on the X-Chromosome. Let the allele normal vision and colour blindness be Xn and Xc respectively.

The woman had a colour blind father (XcY) and a normal vision mother, so her allelic pair for vision will be XnXc.

Her father had normal tooth enamel while her mother had a defective tooth enamel, therefore, she will have the allelic pair, Tt.

Her genotype for vision and tooth enamel will be XnXcTt.

Her husband who is color blind with normal tooth enamel had a father with defective tooth enamel, tt. Therefore, her husband's genotype for vision and tooth enamel will be XcYTt.

From the dihybrid cross of XnXcTt and XcYTt, the following offspring are obtained:

XnXcTT, XnXcTt, XnYTT, XnYTt

XnXcTt, XnXctt, XnYTt, XnYtt

XcXcTT, XcXcTt, XcYTT, XcYTt

XcXcTt, XcXctt, XcYTt, XcYtt

From the results of the cross, a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness will have the following genotypes: XcXcTT, XcXcTt, XcYTT, XcYTt, XcXcTt, XcYTt.

Probability of their having a child with normal tooth enamel and color blindness = 6/16 = 3/8 or 0.375

Coniferous trees may be defined as mostly evergreen trees and shrubs having usually needle-shaped or scalelike leaves and including forms with true cones and others with an arillate fruit.

Deciduous trees tend to grow faster than evergreen trees. They have broader leaves as compared to evergreen trees. Coniferous trees have needles instead of leaves. They don't change color in the fall.
