In the image below, the corn plant on the left has been grown with Lepidoptera sp. larvae, insects that feed on the corn’s cob and leaves. The corn plant on the right was not exposed to insects. Does this experiment provide enough information to conclude that the plant on the right is resistant to Lepidoptera, and why? 1072AQ2 A. Yes, the corn on the left was eaten by Lepidoptera larvae while the corn on the right was not. B. No, the insects on the plant on the right may have been killed by insecticide before they had a chance to damage the corn plant. C. No, we cannot conclude whether or not the corn plant on the right is resistant because it has not been exposed to Lepidoptera. D. Yes, both corn plants were treated the same way, so we can conclude that the experimental corn is resistant to Lepidoptera.

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
