2. What is a Polygraph ?

Explanation

A polygraph is commonly known as a lie detector. It is a device used to measure and record several physiological indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and skin conductivity while a person is being questioned. The purpose of a polygraph is to detect deception by analyzing the changes in these physiological indicators, which are believed to occur when a person is lying. Therefore, a polygraph is a tool used in forensic investigations, law enforcement, and other contexts to determine the truthfulness of a person's statements.

3. The chance of passing on PKD to a child is 50/50 ?

Explanation

The chance of passing on PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) to a child is indeed 50/50. PKD is an inherited disorder caused by a gene mutation, and it follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. This means that if one parent has PKD, there is a 50% chance that each of their children will inherit the mutated gene and develop the disease. Therefore, the statement "The chance of passing on PKD to a child is 50/50" is true.

9. A Snail has only one Kidney ?

Explanation

Snails have a single kidney, which is located near the head. This kidney functions to filter waste products from the snail's blood and excrete them as urine. Having only one kidney is a unique characteristic of snails compared to other animals, including humans, who typically have two kidneys. This adaptation allows snails to efficiently regulate their internal environment and maintain proper balance of fluids and electrolytes.
