Which selection from the section "Slowing The Spread" BEST explains what epidemiologists

mean by "flattening the curve"?

All these decisions by public officials and

businesses are aimed at one goal: slowing

down the spread of the virus to avoid

overburdening a health care system that

doesn't have the infrastructure to handle a

sudden surge of tens of thousands of cases

at once

Epidemiologists study diseases and how they

spread. They can somewhat predict how

many cases of a disease are going to occur

based on how the disease is behaving.

The only reason total U. S. cases aren't

already skyrocketing is that coronavirus

testing has been such a mess that too few

people just 77 by the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) in the whole

week of March 8 - are being tested. You

Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.

Explanation:

What preventative measures can I take against the coronavirus disease?

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
