For many years the only way to test if a person had tuberculosis (TB) required a laboratory procedure that could take up to several weeks to produce a definite result. There are now DNA-based tests to detect TB that can be done in a couple of hours. We have the following data on a DNA test for TB If a person does not have TB then the DNA test always is negative. If a person does have TB, then the DNA test will be positive 94% of the time. Assume that we will use the test in Africa where the rate of incidence of TB is 450 per 100,000. Has TB Does not have TB Row Totals Test result: negative Test result: postive P Column Totals Q 100,000 What is the probability of a false negative test result? A false negative is P(TB given a negative test).

1. variations in a population of moths allow for some of its members to be able to adapt to environmental changes. the better adapted of the moths will be able to survive the change and thus prevail as the “fittest” of the species. (a) describe three mechanisms in which variation can occur within a species population. (b) explain which mechanism or mechanisms would be responsible for the survival of a population of peppered moths better than white moths in an environment affected by industrial soot. justify your answer.
