Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether an infant gets affected by zika infection.
Introduction:
In 1947, the first zika virus was identified in the East African forest of Uganda. The Aedes species of mosquito hosts the zika virus. Symptoms of zika infections are mild fever, joint pain, pink eye, and rash. The definite incubation period of this virus is not known but is assumed to be 2 weeks, and within it, certain mild symptoms are shown, such as rashes, joint pain, and headache. When this virus is in incubation period, it may not be detected by a blood test, therefore symptoms should not be neglected, and one must take proper care.

A biologist is studying a disease in corn that seems to be more common in cornfields in warmer weather. He is using three genotypes of corn and growing them in greenhouses under different temperatures (each genotype is grown under all temperatures) and measuring susceptibility to the disease. Draw a diagram with norms of reaction showing that the three genotypes respond differently to temperature in terms of disease susceptibility.
A television commercial featuring former cyclist Lance Armstrong talked about the possibility of people carrying a DNA genotype card with them that would contain all of the information necessary to predict future diseases. This could, therefore, be used to help prescribe drugs to stop a medical condition before it became apparent. Give a couple of specific examples of how this ability could be used for the benefit or the detriment of humankind.
In 1967, a couple accused a hospital of switching their baby with another. DNA interpretation did not exist at this time so the hospital traced the blood types of the family in order to determine if a mistake was made. The mother had Type A blood, the father had Type AB blood, and the baby had Type O blood. Use the Punnett square to defend your answer to the following question:
Did the hospital make a mistake and switch the baby? ____________
