Risk is defined as toxicity * exposure. For effects on human health, the toxicity component of this equation is determined differently if there is a threshold than if there is no threshold for toxic effects. Compare and contrast the cancer slope factor with a reference dose as measures of toxicity used in equations of risk.

You decided to become a super cool food scientist and upon graduation, was hired at an ice cream company. The first product you are asked to work on is soft-serve ice cream. Soft-serve ice cream starts off as a liquid ice cream mix that will later be frozen into delicious, smooth and creamy ice cream. Your lab mate was showing you how to make the liquid ice cream mix, and after making it, forgot to put it in the refrigerator before heading home. Unfortunately, that ice cream mix contained 2 viable food infection type microorganisms. If the average lag phase generation time is 105 minutes, the average log phase generation time is 35 minutes, and three generation times (16 microorganisms) are required for the system to switch from the lag to the log phase, how many microorganisms would be present in the mix when you returned to the lab 14 hours later. Please provide your answer to the nearest whole number

In a hypothetical species of butterfly, wing spots are controlled by a single locus where BB individuals have blue spots, YY individuals have yellow spots, and BY individuals have green spots. Ten years ago, a previous collector randomly collected 1000 butterflies and reported finding 90 blues, 420 greens, and 490 yellows. You collect 40 blues, 320 greens, and 640 yellows. Has there been evolution in this population? If yes, is natural selection involved? Explain and justify your answers.

This is my third time posting this question, please don't answer it if youre going to give me p2+q2+2pq=1

I'm not asking if evolution is happening 10 years ago and if it is happening now, I'm asking has evolution happened comparing 10 years ago to now!

So can you please calculate the expected genotypic or phenotypic frequencies (of each of 10 years ago and now) using HWE math p2+2pq+q2p2+2pq+q2. Then calculate the chi-square values, which are adjusted measures of deviation based on each individual frequency. Fail the test, and you know you have a violation of HWE. It is possible to test for signatures of selection (please test for selection as well) .

I hope you dont just give me a 2 line answer or give me a pasted answer of the old questions! Im definitely going to give a thumbs down as this is the third time I ask this.

Ras is a GTP-binding protein that is often mutated in cancer cells. Normal cells are stimulated to divide by receiving a signal from a growth factor through a receptor tyrosine kinase. When the receptor tyrosine kinase binds the growth factor, Ras is stimulated to bind GTP. Ras in turn activates proteins that promote cell proliferation. A common mutation in cancerous cells causes Ras to behave as though it were bound to GTP all the time. Suppose that there is a drug that can turn off the activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase by preventing its ability to dimerize. Do you think that this drug will inhibit the division of cells that have a mutated Ras protein that acts as though it were always bound to GTP? (2 points) Explain your answer (2 points)
