What are the main groups of pathogenic organisms which currently cause disease in the UK?
The main groups of pathogenic organisms causing disease in the UK include bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus), viruses (e.g. influenza virus), fungi (e.g. Candida species), and parasites (e.g. Giardia lamblia). These organisms can cause a range of illnesses from common infections to more serious diseases.
Why is Lyme disease classified as an emerging infection?
Lyme disease is classified as an emerging infection because its incidence has been increasing in recent years, likely due to factors like changes in land use and climate, which allow for the expansion of the tick vectors that transmit the disease. Additionally, improved diagnostic techniques have led to better recognition and reporting of cases.
What are potential dangers of a prion?
Prions are proteins that can cause misfolding of other proteins in the brain, leading to neurodegenerative diseases like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Due to their ability to self-propagate and resist normal sterilization techniques, prions pose a significant risk of spreading through contaminated tissues or medical instruments. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies caused by prions are currently incurable and fatal.
What is a organism that carries disease transport genes into a host cell refers to the term?
A vector is an organism that carries disease-causing genes into a host cell, allowing the genes to be incorporated into the host's genome. This process often occurs in genetic engineering and gene therapy techniques.
Galactosemia is a recessive human disease A woman and her husband are both heterozygous for the glactosemia gene She has identical twins What is the probability that they are both girls and have ga?
The probability both twins are girls is 0.25 (0.5 * 0.5). Each girl will inherit half of the mother's genes, so there is a 0.25 chance they both inherit the galactosemia gene from their heterozygous mother. Therefore, the probability that they are both girls and have galactosemia is 0.25 * 0.25 = 0.0625 or 6.25%.
What is the probability of testing positive for the disease?
The probability isP(you have the disease)*P(the test shows positive when testing someone with the disease) +P(you don't have the disease)*P(the test shows positive when testing someone without the disease).The second category is particularly important if the disease is rare but the probability of a type II error is large.
What is the probability that a girl will not have huntington disease?
50%
What is the probability that a randomly selected man between age 55 and 64 does not have this disease?
The answer will depend on what the disease is.
What is the probability that you will die of heart disease?
around 20-30%
What is the probability of a baby inheriting a disease from parents?
For the case where the disease is a recessive trait (more likely), the probability is 1/2 that they will carry the diseased gene but not show it. If the disease is a dominant trait, the probability is 1/2 that they will get it and show it. Having said that, in the recessive case, if both parents are carriers, then there is a 1/4 case the child will get it from both and then show the disease. I have answered regarding genetically-transmitted diseases. Mental illness and other forms of "disease" will be different.
How are people with Alzheimer's disease cured?
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease.
What is the probability that N will not have Huntington disease?
0, since letters of the alphabet do not have diseases.
What are some life-saving discoveries made possible by scientific research?
medicine,weather predicting,and disease prevention?
What treatment is available for Wolman's disease?
No treatment is currently available for Wolman's disease.
What is the disease of apple Mac?
There is no disease currently known to the Apple Mac computers
What is the probability that a future daughter they have together will also be afflicted with hemophilia?
0% probability that their daughter will have it because it is a X-linked disease meaning only males can get it.
Why were statistics developed?
To be able to understand the probability of chance for an occurrence and to further understand probability
