A. The following statements are hypotheses:
1. Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth.
2. Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria.
B. The following statements are observations:
1. The bacterial colony grown without glucose do not have capsules around their cells.
2. Bacteria growth in the glucose environment increase rapidly and then stopped after sometime.
All the options are correct.
1. New ways to preserve and transport blood for blood transfusions were discovered.
2. Blood transfusion safety was improved.
3. Scientists discovered that elements of blood could be separated by centrifuge.
4. Scientists discovered that plasma could be preserved by freezing.
Karl Landsteiner
Karl Landsteiner was the man who discovered some of the human blood types in 1900 and 1901 at the University of Vienna.
The fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur is 9/16.
Explanation:
Information given:
black coat colour and straight fur - dominant genotype BBCC, BbCc
yellow coat colour and curly fur - recessive genotype bbcc
Both the traits are independently assorted. The fur colour and fur type is not present on the same chromosome and are not sex linked.
The genotype of the parents are:
BbCc X BbCc
Punnet square shows:
BC Bc bC bc

9 BLACK STRAIGHT
3 BLACK CURLY
3 YELLOW STRAIGHT
1 YELLOW CURLY
9/16 is the fraction of progeny to be black coat colour and straight fur.
Answer:
1. Insulin resistance and diabetes
2. Metformin
Explanation:
Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).
People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.
The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.
Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.
However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.
