Chapter 26.2, Problem 3CYP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason why complement system and natural killer cells are nonspecific.
Introduction:
The body mechanisms that protect against the infections are innate defense and adaptive defense. Adaptive defense is the precise mechanism or specific mechanism, but innate mechanism is a non specific mechanism, which develops quickly. It provides general response regardless of pathogen type and exposure numbers. Innate mechanism includes physical barrier (first line of defense), natural killer cell, chemical barriers, complement system, inflammation and phagocytosis.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant
women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their
pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants:
One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo
medication. In this study what are:
Independent variable:
Dependent variable:
Control variable:
Experimental group: "
Control group:
If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills.
This study is
It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months.
The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study?
If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this
research work?
How do I determine the inhertiance pattern from the pedigree diagram?
