Signs and SymptomsYour research will be presented as a poster presentation so that members of your class will be able to view/read your presentation at their own pace (5 -10 minutes). Your research poster should summarize your research concisely and attractively to help educate and generate discussion. InstructionsT Your assigned pathology is: Human papilloma virus You will then gather information (research) to include in your presentation from ...
Integrate knowledge of the modes of regulation and molecular basis of metabolic and genetic pathways at the molecular, cellular and whole human level. Apply your understanding of fundamental biochemical and genetic principles and concepts introduced and demonstrate relevant skills to carry out experimental investigations. Demonstrate how metabolic pathways interact meeting the requirements of the organism over a range of timescales, includ...
Question 1 Based on what you learned from the video and in lecture, are their flower petals (pictured above) analogous or homologous structures? Explain your reasoning. Question 2 The Michigan lily can be identified by their bright orange petals with dark spots, a trait that is controlled by the MYB gene. You come across a very large population of Michigan lilies that possess two alleles (A and a) for the MYB gene. You genotype th...
Many of you have likely heard the recommendation to drink eight glasses of water every day. According to some sources (e.g., this article from Food and Supply Source), drinking eight glasses of water daily will increase muscle stamina, improve kidney function, clear skin, boost brain function, and provide many other benefits compared to drinking only when thirsty. It seems that the original source of the eight-glasses-per-day claim is a 1945 stat...
You are newly hired as a staff scientist at a start-up pharmaceutical company, Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The project you are assigned to concerns the life cycle and biology of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), a double-stranded DNA virus that infects humans. It is one of seven known cancer-causing viruses in humans, and there is no known cure as of this date. You are asked to use your expertise in molecular biology to study the K1 g...
What the Assignment Entails1) Demonstrate understanding of the molecular and cellular components of the immune response in health and disease 2) Demonstrate the ability to analyse the role of inappropriately functioning immune responses in disease What am I required to do in this assignment? You will submit a report that summarises your analysis of results from CH50 assays to determine the complement activity of unknown’ serum sampl...

Exams are open book exams. You can use revision notes and materials to help answer the questions. We will be testing your understanding of the module content, not your ability to Google, copy and paste. Although this is an open book exam and you will be free to look things up, you must write entirely in your own words. All submitted exam papers will be passed through word matching software (Turnitin) to detect potential plagiarism and collu...
Your report will be assessed as follows: 1. Explain by comparing and contrasting the major changes (biological, cognitive, socioemotional) experienced by the two young adults you have interviewed. Identify and discuss significant changesa and/or experiences that the young adults considered as challenges for this stage of life. Highlight the gender differences in your discussion. (Note: For this question, you do not need to refer to t...
Starting with a Statement of the Hypotheses Being TestedThe report should start with a statement of the hypotheses being tested, and then structured into two parts: results and discussion. In the results start with a description of your observations and the figures before the figures. The disucssion is where you make meaning of the findings, link to other studies, state whether you accept or reject the hypothesis and look forward to future appli...
The Argument based on Utilitarianism and the Ideal ExperimenterTask: Read Aaron Ridley’s article “Ill-Gotten Gains: On the Use of Results from Unethical Experiments in Medicine” (Public Affairs Quarterly 9, no. 3 [July 1995]). Ridley examines the question of whether to make use of beneficial results that were obtained unethically from medical experiments performed on human beings. While many would probably say that such bene...
Materials and MethodsThe Scenario: [IMAGINE] You are a college student taking part in an internship program in the microbiology lab of a hospital. Recently, the rate of nosocomial infections in patients has risen sharply. Further- more, when some disinfected instruments and surfaces were cultured for microorganisms, bacterial growth was observed. After the better part of a month of culturing and sub- culturing, the nosocomial culprits have prove...
Instructions: Create and insert the data tables and graphs, as requested. Plan your data tables and graphs before you begin your experiments to make sure you gather all of the necessary data. Answer the questions in complete sentences using correct grammar, spelling, and terminology. Use credible sources (include a citation) to support your answers, if needed. Experiment 1: Genetic Variation Create a data table to display your results...
Part 1: Synopsis of Climate ChangeThis lab has two parts. 1.In the first part you will work on your synopsis assessment by working through a draft synopsis review and then a self-assessment activity. This will be done in your usual lab time slot as a zoom class.2.In the second part you will prepare for the field trip and associated assessment to ensure that you maximise your learning time while in the field.At the end of this lab you should be...
FormatAlthough scientific papers are always presented in the same format, they are rarely written in that order. The following includes suggestions on how to write your paper so that it will be complete and coherent. Read through it completely once to give you the overall picture, then follow it through paying more attention to the details. For more information, you may choose to visit http://urbiolabreports.wikidot.com/start. This site is desig...
