After stinging its victim, the honeybee leaves behind the barbed stinger, poison sac and muscles that continue to pump venom into the wound. Visscher et al. (1996) compared the effects of two methods of removing the stinger left behind: scraping off with a credit card or pinching off with thumb and index finger. A total of 40 stings were induced on volunteers. Twenty were removed with the credit card method and 20 were removed with the pinching method. The size of the subsequent welt by each measurement came from two volunteers (both authors of the study), each of whom received one treatment 10 times on the one arm and the other treatment 10 times on the other arm. Pinching led to a slightly smaller average welt, but the difference between the methods was not significant. Does this study include a control group? Enter the number of the best answer choice from the options below1. Yes, the control group is the group receiving the credit card method.2. Yes, the control group is the group receiving pinching method.3. Yes, the control group is the group receiving no therapy.4. No, there was no control for this experiment. Is this an observational study or experimental research? Enter the number of the best answer choice from the options below.1. It is an observational study because the treatments were not randomly assigned.2. It is an observational study that used matching to pair people who had received the credit card method with people of similar age, gender, and overall health that used the pinching method to minimize bias.3. It is experimental research, participants were randomly assigned to treatment groups, one of which served as a control. Is this experiment completely randomized design or randomized block design? Enter the number of the best answer choice from the options below1.The two treatments were applied to separate groups of randomly assigned patients; therefore, it is completely randomized design.2. The patients were blocked into groups based on when they received treatment and they were randomly assigned a treatment type; therefore, this research is a randomized block design.3. This is an observational study that employed matching and neither a completely randomized design, nor a randomized block design. Which strategy that may have helped reduce bias was not employed in this study? Enter the number of the best answer choice from the options below1. Randomized block design2. Completely randomized design3. Double-blind4. Single-blind

Alichen is an organism that structurally appears to be a single organism. but a lichen is actually two different organisms—a fungus and green algae—living together as one organism. the fungal partner derives its nutrition from the photosynthesizing algae. how does a lichen differ in its photosynthetic activity from elysia chlorotica, the sea slug that’s considered to be a photosynthesizing animal? a. in lichens, the fungi photosynthesize on their own, while elysia chlorotica forms a relationship with a photosynthesizing plant. b. in lichens, the relationship with the algae lasts throughout the life cycle, but in elysia chlorotica, the relationship occurs only during the immature juvenile stage of the slug’s life cycle. c. lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells. d. in lichens, the association between the fungi and algae is permanent, while elysia chlorotica associates with a photosynthesizing organism only when it requires food.

Prior to the development of dna fingerprinting, blood type could be used to determine possible parentage. although it might prove someone was not a parent, it could not show if someone was positively the parent, only that he or she might be a parent. which of the following is a true statement that can be made about parentage based on blood typing?
