When studying animal behavior, the distribution of organisms within a choice chamber can be studied to identify animal preferences. 20 Isopods are placed in a 2-choice choice chamber. A cotton ball dampened with distilled water is placed in Chamber A; A dry cotton ball is placed in Chamber B. After 15 minutes 2 Isopods are located in Chamber B, and 18 isopods are found in Chamber A. Perform the chi-squared test to determine if the distribution of isopods is significant or due to random chance.
a) chi-squared is 1.20, no it is not significant
b) chi-squared is 8.42, no its not significant
c) Chi-squared = 12.8, yes it is significant
d) Chi-squared is 18.59, yes it is significant
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Random distribution of the Isopods should be 50/50 in A and B.
Chi-square = [tex]\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}[/tex] where O = observed frequency and E = expected frequency
Chamber O E Chi-square
A 18 10 [tex]\frac{(18 - 10)^2}{10}[/tex] = 6.4
B 2 10 [tex]\frac{(2 - 10)^2}{10}[/tex] = 6.4
Total Chi-square = 6.4 + 6.4 = 12.8
Degree of freedom = 2 - 1 = 1
Tabulated Chi-square (α = 0.05) = 3.8415
The calculated Chi-square exceeds the critical value, hence, it is significant and not due to random.
The correct option is c.

In pedigree B, how can unaffected parents have an affected child?
Answer:
The unaffected mother, who is marrying in, does not carry an allele for the disease; so the affected child inherits an allele only from the affected father. No child could be affected by a single autosomal recessive allele, or X-linked recessive allele, so the trait is dominant
Answer:
The childs mother could be a carrier without knowing it which would create the couple to have a child thats affected.

What is the process depicted in this figure and why is it important?
Answer:
The correct answer is - antigenic shift due to mutation.
Explanation:
In this image, there is a representation of the antigenic shift or change takes place to evolve to a new strain of influenza virus from the original virus that has a different antigen on the surface of the virus than the new strain. In this image it is shown that the surface H antigens went through a shift to form a new strain while N antigen remain the same.
This is important to adapt and evolve according the internal environment of the host show this type of mutation requires if moving from one host to another (human to pigs).
how does carbon moves from the atmosphere to the biosphere?
Answer:
Via a range of pathways, carbon travels from one storage reservoir to another. In the food chain, for example, plants, by photosynthesis, transfer carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the fuel, continuing the cycle, back into the atmosphere or soil.
Explanation:

A lot of your personality comes from ______________________ rather than your DNA.
Answer:
Inheritance
Explanation:
Many believe that personality traits can come from how you are treated when you are a child while that can play a part in a personality trait that's not the full truth. Personality traits are inherited from your parents so if your father is stubborn but not your mother there's a 50% chance that the child may be stubborn like his or her father.
Hope this helps.

Make a prediction of this: A group of scientists recently proposed the idea that beets should replace salt for melting winter ice. The scientists pointed out that because beets grow underground, they continue to grow in freezing conditions. Thus, they hypothesized, an extract of beet roots could melt ice on roads in winter. To test this hypothesis, the scientists froze equal volumes of water on two separate plates. They spread an extract of beet roots on one plate of ice and sprinkled an equal amount of salt over the other plate. After keeping both plates at 0°C (the temperature at which water freezes) for a period of time, they measured the amount of melted water on each plate. Their results showed that the plate treated with beet extract contained more liquid water than the plate treated with salt.
Answer:
extract of beet roots could be used as antifreeze for water systems
Explanation:
In science, a prediction can be defined as a plausible conjecture that is subsequently proved (or rejected) using the scientific method. In other words, a prediction is the expected result obtained if the hypothesis is true. Scientists make predictions based on falsifiable hypotheses which can be tested through experimental and/or observational procedures. In this case, it could be predicted that the extract of beet roots could be used as anti-freeze for water systems in cold climates.
C. Read the hypotheses below, and identify the
independent (what you
manipulate/change) and dependent variables (what you measure). Write
them by putting a comma in between in the space provided
12. If hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is),
then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate.
Nour answer
Answer:
Independent variable: Salinity/Salt concentration
Dependent variable: hatching rate
Explanation:
As rightly stated in this question, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response while the DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. Dependent variable as the name implies is dependent on the independent variable.
In this question where an hypothesis was given as follows: "Hatching brine shrimp is related to salinity (how salty the water is), then the greater the salt concentration, the higher the hatching rate". The hypothesis relates the independent and dependent variables i.e. it tells us how the independent variable affects the dependent variable.
Hence, according to the hypothesis, it is telling us how a change in SALINITY OR SALT CONCENTRATION will affect HATCHING RATE. Therefore;
Independent variable: SALINITY/SALT CONCENTRATION
Dependent variable: HATCHING RATE

A scientist claims that he has protected animal test subjects from a newly mutated virus using an experimental vaccine.The experimental vaccine was injected into five animal test subjects. The scientist also injected a placebo vaccine into five other animal test subjects.One month later, all of the test subjects were exposed to the mutated virus. The subjects that received the vaccination showed no sign of the disease and blood tests confirmed the presence of antibodies against the disease, but the subjects given the placebo developed symptoms of this condition.Why did one group have a placebo injected before being exposed to the virus?A) They were part of the experimental groupB) They would be protected from the diseaseC) They would be exposed to a weaker form of the virusD) They were part of the control group
Answer:
The correct answer is option D. they were part of the control group.
Explanation:
A control group is a group of subjects different from the other test subject as they did not get the independent variable's effect on them and separated from the rest of the experiment. This group of subjects is used to rule out any other explanation of the effect of the independent variable.
In this experiment, subjects that received a placebo injection are the control group as they did not expose to the mutated virus and there are the presence of antibodies in the blood.

Nutrition is a common topic in the media, whether it's a new diet plan or a new "superfood" on the market to benefit
our health. Some of these products are scientifically sound, while others aren't. How do we tell the difference?
PLEASE HURRY
Answer:
To find out whether a product is scientifically sound, check the FDA standards for the product. Another option is to ask a medical expert, such as a doctor or a nutrition scientist, whether the product is scientifically sound.
