A study found two processes, Process A and Process B, to be correlated. Which of the following is true for these processes?    

A. The study indicates that Process A causes Process B.

B. The study cannot indicate whether Process A and B have a positive relationship.

C. The study does not indicate a causal relationship between the processes.

D. The study cannot indicate whether Process A and B have a negative relationship.

Answer Explanation:

The correct answer is c.

The study does not indicate a causal relationship between the processes. A correlation between two processes means that there is a statistical relationship between them, but it does not necessarily imply causation. In other words, just because two processes are correlated does not mean that one causes the other.

b.The study does not indicate that Process A causes Process B.

 

 

b.The study can indicate whether Process A and B have a positive relationship if the correlation is positive.

 

 

d. The study can indicate whether Process A and B have a negative relationship if the correlation is negative.

 

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #1: If a portion of a strand of DNA bases reads 3’TCGATCGCA 5’, what would the sequence of bases on the complementary strand read?

    A. 5’AGCTAGCGT 3’

    B. 3’ TCGUTCGCU 5’

    C. 3’ AGCTAGCGT 5’

    D. 5’ GGUTACTAC 3’

    Answer Explanation

    The sequence of bases on the complementary strand of DNA would read 5’AGCTAGCGT 3’ (Choice A). In DNA, the nitrogenous bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The complementary strand is also antiparallel to the original strand, meaning that it runs in the opposite direction with the 5' end matching up with the 3' end of the original strand.

    The other options do not accurately represent the complementary sequence of bases or the antiparallel orientation of the strands.

  • Q #2: A patient goes to the doctor with a cold and sore throat and asks for antibiotics. The doctor refuses to prescribe antibiotics to the patient because the illness is caused by which of the following pathogens?

    A. Fungus

    B. Virus

    C. Protist

    D. Bacteria

    Answer Explanation

    The doctor refuses to prescribe antibiotics to the patient because the illness is caused by a virus. The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections and are only used to treat bacterial infections.

    The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the cause of the common cold and sore throat. Fungus, protist, and bacteria are not the pathogens responsible for causing the common cold.

  • Q #3: Which of the following classes of biological molecules includes enzymes?

    A. Lipids

    B. Vitamins

    C. Carbohydrates

    D. Proteins

    Answer Explanation

    Enzymes are a type of protein that catalyze chemical reactions in the body. Proteins are one of the four main classes of biological molecules, along with lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

    The other options are not classes of biological molecules that include enzymes. Lipids are a class of molecules that includes fats and oils, vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition, and carbohydrates are a class of molecules that includes sugars and starches.
