I'm having trouble finding the dependent and independent variables of this scenaro: Average IQ scores for young school children are known to be 100 (SD = 15). However, the literature indicates that children’s intelligence may be decreased if their mothers have German measles during pregnancy. Using hospital records, a researcher obtained a sample of n = 25 school children whose mothers all had German measles during their pregnancies. Do the data indicate that children born to mothers who had German measles during the pregnancy have significantly lower IQ scores than typical young school children?

A new preventive treatment of fetal neural tube defects (NTD) using of folic acid from the start of a pregnancy was tested in a randomized trial. Assume those who received folic acid had incidence of NTD equal to 2 cases per 10,000 population, and those received a placebo had a disease Y incidence of 5 cases per 10,000 population. What is the efficacy (shown as a percent) of folic acid in preventing fetal NTD based on this study? Show calculations for credit.
The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?
Torsion dystonia is a movement disorder that affects 1 in every 1,000 persons of Eastern European (Askenazi) Jewish descent. What is the carrier frequency for this population?
A prospective groom, who is unaffected, has a sister with cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease. Their parents are normal. The brother plans to marry a woman who has no history of CF in her family. What is the probability that they will produce a CF child? They are both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF in the Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affected child per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy– Weinberg assumptions.)

In investigating whether stress is a factor in aging, telomere length was measured in women with chronically ill children, and compared to the number of years since the child's diagnosis. Use the following summary data to calculate the correlation coefficient between telomere length and chronocity: Summary data: Sum of products: -11.564 Sum of squares for chronicity: 311.422 Sum of squares for telomere length: 2.499 Total sample size: 39

Is the heritability of COVID-19 susceptibility is close to 1? Based on your knowledge, what is the potential role of the environment in determining susceptibility to COVID-19?
Please help me with these 2 questions based on the graph below. More than one answer may be correct for each question: 1) Figure 1. Normative hair cell data for the lateral semicircular canal in humans. Linear fitted regression line is included (n = 67). The above graph shows... a) a decrease in taste buds with age in humans.b) the relationship between hair cell density and age in humans.c) the complete loss of a photoreceptor in humans 80 years old and above.d) the disappearance of hair follicles in older humans.e) a higher density in a type of mechanoreceptor in younger humans. 2) Figure 1. Normative hair cell data for the lateral semicircular canal in humans. Linear fitted regression line is included (n = 67). The data presented in this graph could help explain why... a) turning one's head quickly may result in vertigo in older humans.b) using playground swings can make you dizzy and/or nauseous as you get older.c) long bouts of laying down without moving can cause dizziness and/or…

Severe forms of COVID-19 appear to be more frequent in individuals carrying specific genetic variants. Such variants are found in at least four different loci in the genome. What do you expect this to mean in terms of heritability of susceptibility to severe COVID-19? Group of answer choices Nothing can be said about heritability Heritability could be 0 or 0.25 Heritability is 1 Heritability is greater than 0 Heritability is 0.25 Heritability is greater than 0.25
