In 1940, two researchers named Weiner and Landsteiner discovered that about 85% of the human population sampled possessed a blood cell protein called the Rh factor (D antigen). The presence of Rh factor was labeled Rh positive (Rh+) and was found to be dominant over the absence of the blood factor (Rh–). Rh factor is inherited in a typical Mendelian pattern. Based on this information, one could predict that two Rh+ parents could never have an Rh– child. Is it true? Write a descriptive explanation.

4) In 2011, researchers discovered bacterial cells possessing human genes, they found that more than 10% of a Neisseria gonorrhoeae population, the species responsible for gonorrhea, contained a human DNA fragment. This fragment was not found in other species of Neisseria. How might a bacterial cell have acquired human DNA?

A new treatment is discovered that improves survival probability of a disease from 85 percent to 95 percent. Discuss the different ways a researcher might look at these results versus the way that the marketing department might discuss them. What is the difference in the way you would view a new treatment that improves survival probability by the same absolute magnitude from 5 percent to 15 percent?

A new species of microorganism is discovered in a barren desert habitat. Researchers find that the species does not require any from of water to exist. How would discovery of this species require modification of hypotheses about the origins of life on earth? a. The idea of membrane-bound protobionts as the first cells would not necessarily be true any longer. b. The presence of an electronic charge between water and lightning in Earth's early atmosphere would be modified. c. Amino...

Which of following is incorrect about the history of human population growth? In the Modern growth era, both population and income per capita grow very fast. In the Malthusian era, growth rates of both population and income per capita are close to zero. In the Modern growth era, population growth slows down and income per capita grows fast. In the post-Malthusian era, both population and income per capita grow at a higher rate compared with the Malthusian era. According to...

Researchers are concerned about the prevalence of skin cancers among adults aged 35-50 in a population with frequently moderate, warm temperatures. The prevalence of such skin cancers in the population is only 16%. Suppose a sample of adults in this age range is conducted and among the 197 adults surveyed, 64 reported at least one skin cancer removal. A) Can researchers approximate the distribution with the standard normal? B) Calculate the probability of observing the results seen in the sample....

After the experiment, the researchers discovered that one participant in the high fat group was currently taking two prescribed drugs: orlistat (lipase inhibitor) and colestipo (bile acid sequestrant) and one participant in the high protein group was currently taking a prescribed proton pump inhibitor (reduce stomach acid production). How is gastrin, CCK, motilin, secretin and GIP impacted by the prescribed drug/medication for each respective meal and explain the impact (i.e. does the prescribed drug/medication affect the release and/or action of...
